Zombies in the Storm

This afternoon a big storm came through and I experienced something new-oblong hail. I have never seen hail that resembled Lego blocks and perhaps if the rain did not hurt upon hitting my skin I would have built an ice castle.

A few hours after the storm passed and the ice melted, my brother asked me to tag along with him to Target in search of Xbox gear. Due to the storm, the power had been knocked out along Lindbergh but Ryan bravely fought the congested and crazy road. The path leading up to Target was dark and all the stores had lost power. The entire area was deserted and calm. Remarkably, the automatic doors at Target were still operating which was a sure sign that Target was still open for business. Ryan and I walked into Target which was being backed by generators. The lighting was dim making it difficult to see anything and the atmosphere was eerie. The speakers were out and dead silence filled the atmosphere. Briefly, I stood in wonderment of how peaceful Target had become when it hit me-the zombie apocolypse may have just begun. I was waiting for the zombies to come from behind, perhaps out of the vitamin isle. My only weapon was a pack of gum but fortunately I didn't need to use it. I scanned the room and didn't see anyone vomiting or reak of death so I felt I was in the clear. It was bit curious that a handful of people continued to shop- in the dark-acting like this wasn't unusual. The zombies were not in the vitamin isle,no, they were in every isle and I was surrounded! Ryan and I escaped without a scratch but there are zombies still out there. Beware.
