Before I finished typing up my opinion of your story, a car slammed into a distant telephone pole and cast the entire town, even the traffic light, into a netherworld of darkness and social decay.
I'll try to rebuild what almost was from the fragments of my once awesome memory.
Solid story. Straight forward, well arranged, zero confusion. Everything fits appropriately, and best of all it feels complete. You already know you're good with character interplay/dialog. What at first seems to be a blessing is really a curse for poor Rodrick. I felt I was well led to that conclusion along with the how, what, and why of his circumstance. Rodrick- Excellent name. The plant life sprouting from the reanimated was a nice creative touch. Kept things interesting before being introduced to the host idea. Suicide... Why the hell not for a gizzo named rodrick, am I right? A heroic end. No, that's not right. Classy extraterrestrials behind the whole flippin' mess! Perfect fit. Reminded me of something from the likes of Stephen King's short stories. Guy's an accomplished writer makin' off with the riches, so take that as you will.
I have reasonable suspicion that there are minor technical inconsistencies in here. Spelling, grammar, misplaced words, but that isn't an important aspect to dwell on here. You + Free time can clean that up.
I liked it, personally. You did good here.
I think you should write and publish more. You hear me? I wanna see more.
