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.

Sadly I think a lot of people bunked off to watch the football match in South Africa, so you could think of ity as some kind of cult worship thing

Ah, so this Dark Lord F'tbaaal brainwashed half the population of England so that they laid down their ploughs and shovels and wandered out into fields and watering places, to join, arms aloft, in swaying adoration? Yup, I said it was an apocalypse.
