Inspired by real events...
The American office manager had set it up. A gingerbread house, biscuits, different coloured icings, and a truly nauseating array of candies.
Everyone was decorating the gingerbread whenever they had a minute to spare. John did the Mayan pyramid between the sprained ankle and the idiosyncratic iritis. He added the priestess with the feathered headdress after the case of food poisoning, before the sinus infection. The Day of the Dead-style skeleton, while not entirely thematic, was his final inspiration.
The best part of his pre-apocalyptic display, of course, was watching everyone guessing at who’d done it--and getting it wrong.
