Laing looked at the #HighRise 400 yards away. A power failure had occurred ... Laing watched them, ready to welcome them to their new world

[Brick High-Rise @BrickHighRise]

Seeing Laing being abused, and assuming him to be Eleanor’s and Alice’s prisoner, they had left. #HighRise #page166

[Brick High-Rise @BrickHighRise]

At times he suspected that some of the residents had reverted to cannibalism #HighRise #page165

When Laing last saw him, he was moving towards the steps at the shallow end of the swimming-pool. #HighRise #page164

Chapter 19: Night Games

“1 rule in life,” he murmured to himself. “If you can smell garlic, everything is all right.”

Shy but happy now, Wilder tottered across the roof to meet his new mothers. #HighRise #page162

In the sculpture-garden, beside the empty paddling pool, a woman was lighting a large fire from pieces of furniture. #HighRise #page161

[Brick High-Rise @BrickHighRise]

As the architect advanced down the steps towards him, Wilder raised the silver pistol and shot him through the chest. #HighRise #page160

[Brick High-Rise @BrickHighRise]

The top floors of the building had been partially invaded by the sky. He saw white clouds through an elevator shaft. #HighRise #page159

[Brick High-Rise @BrickHighRise]

Sucking at the traces of animal fat that clung to his fingers, Wilder entered the kitchen. The cupboards were empty. #HighRise #page158

[Brick High-Rise @BrickHighRise]

The gulls sidled around him, wiping their beaks against the concrete. The surface was streaked with blood. #HighRise #page157

[Brick High-Rise @BrickHighRise]

Chapter 18: The Blood Garden

The shrieking of the gulls filled the air, & seemed to tear at the tissues of his brain.

When the dog began to whimper, reluctant to go any further, he turned it loose, & watched it disappear down the stairs. #HighRise #page155

[Brick High-Rise @BrickHighRise]

He slipped the silver pistol into the waistband of his trousers and checked the patterns on his chest & shoulders. #HighRise #page154

[Brick High-Rise @BrickHighRise]

Wilder helped himself to the last of the small cat that had been barbecued above the fire. #HighRise #page153

[Brick High-Rise @BrickHighRise]

The dog sprang to life, hurled itself up the steps and sank its teeth into the old woman’s arm. #HighRise #page152

[Brick High-Rise @BrickHighRise]

“Poor pet. You’re lost, aren't you, beauty? Come on, up here...” #HighRise #page151

[Brick High-Rise @BrickHighRise]

Wilder carefully wiped the cine-camera lying on the step beside him. Its lenses had been fractured during the skirmishes #HighRise #page150

Chapter 17: The Lakeside Pavilion

Shivering in the cold air 5 floors below, Wilder watched the sunlight approach him.

So Laing took Eleanor Powell and her portable television set back to his apartment. #HighRise #page148
