Oh my gosh, this is so interesting, @carn! I feel like I stumbled into a Twilight Zone episode. Is it part of a larger story, or have you captured all you want to capture in this micro-fiction piece? Well done.
I've had the idea hanging around for a while and it was the only thing I could think of with the prompt of "lemon". :D I feel like it could be a little longer, as I wanted to add a little more of the horror of walking into an "empty" town while still leaving it open ended, but I don't know if I'll ever get around to it.

I would see what happens if you write a bit more. You will know if it has legs then.
