The supermarket was empty, and the car park was devoid of any vehicles. It felt very odd walking the aisles of the supermarket without another soul on the premises and I didn't stay long. I then walked around to the train station and the pub next door but again there was no activity, no noise and no people.
I was freaked out by now. Whatever had happened it was big and it was serious. I had to assume that a) everybody was really gone and unlikely to come back, b) I couldn't rely on power for long and I had to assume that cars and motorbikes had gone the same way as the people.
With nothing else to do I went home and made myself lunch. I sat in the garden with coffee and a sandwich. Once again the normality of doing something so simple and ordinary combined with the unexplained events of the night made me feel very odd.
