I just got into work and no one's here

I actually am working on a short story-novella in which the world wakes up one morning to discover that the entire population of Germany has vanished without a trace.
 
I didn't see the movie, but I thought the story was pretty cool. I have a lot of written image memories from Stephen King, and one of them is the guy swinging the toaster-in-a-blanket weapon and connecting with the villain's nose, bursting it like a tomato.
 
Also I had to answer the phone, and the door too, to get the mail! I mean, what were they going to do if I wasn't here?

Also if my boss calls and asks where everyone is, I'll have to tell him I don't know, and admit that I just came into work at noon. :(
