Buyer's Market

It had been a supermarket car-park, and in the early weeks they queued there while there was still stock on the shelves to buy. Today the long lines were back, but they were made up only of young women and girls. The few men moving among them were big and armoured and armed, each shaven head a pale dome. At one end of the concourse vans were parked, their doors open.
