Dead October

Take a zombie apocalypse for example. That's right; I said z-o-m-b-i-e a-p-o-c-a-l-y-p-s-e. You may laugh now but when it happens you'll be sorry! The alarm continues beeping my head pounding furiously. I slammed my hand on the damn thing missing the Snooze button repeatedly slamming my hand on the damn clock shutting it off. The house was quiet but a little too quiet for any typical weekday morning. What could be the reason behind this?
