Epidemic of Evil: A Creepy Tale in the Style of Garth Marenghi

Margaret worked in the accounting department of a medium sized distribution company in a small town just outside Lincoln. Upon finishing photocopying the days invoices, she entered the filing room on the 2nd floor.

Upon entering she came face to face with Pam from Human Resources, recognisable only by her name badge for she had been disembowelled, guts spilled out all over the floor. Guts. Guts. Guts. Guts. Guts. Guts. And her head.

Margaret was disappointed about the new shift patterns too, but that struck her as something of an overreaction.

Margaret rushed over to check for a pulse, but it was too late, Pam was stone cold dead and she was not coming back. Just to clarify, she won't become reanimated or be returning in zombie form at some point in the story, the role of her already dead corpse has come to an end.

Something smashed in the hallway and footsteps could be heard approaching, the killer presumably returning. Margaret turned the key to lock the door and looked around to find something with which to block it. Then she found it, a filing cabinet. But as she struggled to pull it over, a fist smashed through the window of the door, before reaching through and attempting to turn the key in the lock.

Margaret ran across the room towards the window and pulled the handle to open it, but unfortunately the window would only open a few inches, these restrictors put in place to prevent her and her colleagues from killing themselves could end up being the very reason for Margaret’s untimely demise.

Just then, Margaret heard a scream coming from the street below, when she looked down, what she saw shocked her to her very core, a scene of indescribable carnage, that I will now attempt to describe, dead bodies appeared to litter the streets and burning cars were craashed into the sides of builings opposite, as she watched she could see what looked like 2 men with knives stabbing into the body of who she assumed was the source of the scream.

This wasn't a single murderer terrorising a small town just outside Lincoln, this was an epidemic of evil!
