Last Man Standing

After the war, Timothy felt like the last man on earth. Getting home had been hard. When the army pulled out, most of the force was already infected. He spent a month in quarantine outside of Philipsburg. He probably should still be there, but when he couldn’t find anyone left alive and got hungry he broke out.

The first place he hit was a grocery store. The parking lot was full of cars, but no one manned the tills. He called out as he loaded up, but the only reply was the silent vigil of empty grocery carts.
