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.

Two of my co-workers kept groaning in almost unison this afternoon. There was a slight lag, one groaned about 30 seconds after the other.

This must also be indicative of something - possibly plague symptoms... for some kind of telepathic plague.

Hmmm... This is a very interesting symptom. Now I come to think of it, I saw something like this on Friday night, when in the presence of a load of Morris dancers who were gathered (doubtless coincidentally) around a television. There was an awful lot of groaning in unison, and at the end, they all shambled out looking quite pained and miserable. Definitely plague, then.
