My village looks like fucking Midwich or something. Eerily quiet. Very few people out and about.

Yesterday I took Carrotchops to the playing field and little park and there was not one single child in sight. Midmorning during the summer holidays and not one child, parent, footballer, dogwalker in sight.

Yeah, on my walk last night, it was awesome. Normally I have to wait for traffic on a lot of the streets, but there was nobody around. Even the main roads only had one or two cars on them. Didn't have to wait for any lights to cross the street.

And the line at the ice cream place normally has about a dozen people in it, but there were only 4 people in front of me.

Isn't that how most English horror movies start? Cue light eerie music, the protagonist tops a rise and comes face to face with the zombie horde.....


Or is that hordes? If a horde is a loose collection, would multiple hordes still be one horde?
