<div style="text-align: justify;">Michelle laughed softly when Johnny said he read and watched sci-fi. There was probably a much simpler explanation. Michelle didn't know what it would be yet, but she was sure there was. Things like the ones that happened in the movies... well, only happened in the movies. Maybe it was some sort of exercise? The police, or the fire department, maybe. Whatever it was, they would probably be informed soon.<br/><br/>"I'm sure there is a simpler explanation. Maybe some sort of military exercise, or something like that. And we missed it." Michelle shrugged her shoulders. There was no reason to start imagining things, even though it was a little unsettling to see the whole town empty. <br/><br/>"I'm going to the retirement home. I was out buying supplies we couldn't find here", the girl explained gently. "Of course, I already have a ride there. But if you want to, you can tag along and we can go to the fire department after I'm done restocking the infirmary. I'm sure they will have some information for us."<br/><br/>While waiting for a reply on Johnny's part, Michelle leaned over on her own car, looking around. Not a single soul to be seen as far as her eyes could see. Really odd. "What had you been doing out of town, if you don't mind me asking?", she spoke after some thinking.</div>
