The candle still burned. It was dark in the small room but it was not hard to recognise the bed and a woman sitting on its edge. Turning to a person lying in the bed she said softly: "Is the food fresh enough, Darling?" She did not wait for an answer, she stood up and began to move her body against the door with an obvious elegance. She passed my hideout and went out.

The body in the bed did not move since I was in here. I supposed him to be sleeping. I've left my shelter and took the candle. Slowly I've started to move against the bed. The light went along with me. The candle began to throw light at the body. Then I saw a worm eating the corpse. I realised he was dead. Suddenly I felt a slight pain in my leg. I began to lose my consciousness. I've begun to feel week and I've broken down. The last thing I've heart were the words of that soft voice belonging to the unknown woman:

"Fresh food! Darling."
