[As the Doctor presses himself against the wall, Caitlyn follows his lead. She tries to breathe shallowly and steadily, but the air catches nervously in her throat, so she holds it instead. She would swear she can hear her teeth clench. The corpses must be able to hear it, too. They must be able to hear her heart hammering away.
The villager seems disoriented for a moment, the corpses that were holding him now moving towards Caitlyn and the Doctor. He breaks free, but the third corpse paws at him, still trying to smear something black and wet across his face. He shouts and stumbles - maybe blinded, or in pain, Caitlyn can't be sure.
The two shuffling towards her and the Doctor are distracted by the Doctor's pocket watch trick, enough that Caitlyn can dart past them to try to grab at the corpse that's still attacking the man.]
Go! [The man staggers away, but the corpse has fully fixed its attention on Caitlyn now.]
