deathboyOne 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.

I don't even lock my car. What is it with some people and locking things all the time? If you don't trust the people around you, how do you sleep at all anyway?
