Oh dear, not another apocalypse

[ladyofastolat]

Tonight, at home time, the industrial estate on which I work was eerily empty. Instead of packed car parks with queues to leave them, there was just silence and emptiness. Since I can't think of any reason why so many workers might have chosen to take the afternoon off, I can only assume that some hideous apocalypse is upon us. Mass alien abduction doesn't work, since why have the cars gone, too? A zombie apocalypse would probably involve more blood and severed limbs adorning the silent roads. An asteroid strike is something I suspect I would have noticed, even in the quiet of the library. It must be plague, then. That's a shame.
