Be Prepared

[deathboy]

One of those things, like reading the chemical ingredients of all the things in the bathroom (you do that, right?):

Do you regularly check the places you sleep and assess them in terms of escape routes in case of zombies / xenomorph (/other) attack?

I do.

It just struck me that might not be entirely normal.

In other (related) news, I had two MARVELOUSLY scary things happen this evening.

On the way home from buying booze, I walked past a house on my (VERY urbane, suburban - AND THEREFORE ZOMBIE-CENTRAL) street, and SHAT myself to hear insistent, desperate scraping, as of a key in a door FROM THE INSIDE. Of a PITCH BLACK house.

CLEARLY ZOMBIES.

Then, just now, 'went for a ciggy out the back and heard the sound of heavy metal objects rustling and dropping against each other, then the telltale "Zombies sliding the manhole cover over" sound of metal against metal (followed, naturally, by a long silence).

I'm not mental. I'm just cautious.

surely, flats are a dead loss, defensively?

Flats are good if there's a foreseeable end to the zombie attack in sight. My friend and I had this conversation for one whole night and we've agreed that if the zombie invasion turns into a zombie apocalypse, an army base would be the best place to hold a long-term fort. Weapons, supplies, transport--all readily available.

The one major advantage to flats though? Closer to corner shops, which sell Cornetto.

*bows* Thank you, thank you. Finally, somebody who appreciates the thought we put in to prepare for the undead.

Mr Squiggle has a book on just this matter. Flats are awesome. Lofts, that you can knock the ladder from, are also awesome.
