The Vegetarian Zombie (Continued)
By Nate Feldman
Michael Duncan noticed his bare garden one morning just as it was beginning to lighten up. He had just taken his morning jog in the dark and was at his kitchen stove preparing his morning oatmeal. He looked outside the glass slide door that separated the kitchen from a deck overlooking his yard. He caught a glimpse of his garden in the distance and saw nothing but brown soil. The garden had been overgrown with plants of all sorts, but now there wasn't anything. He put the stove on low heat as he walked towards the slide door to get a better look.
Michael opened the slide door and walked out onto the deck. There was a grey mist in the air, but he still saw the image of a garden with only soil and not a trace of any vegetation. He went down the deck stairs onto the yard and walked to the garden. When he noticed that all of his plant life had completely disappeared he stared in shock. He didn't gasp or show any sign of anxiety. He just stood there, looking at what was before him.
