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.

Date: 2007-12-04 04:30 pm (UTC)tunnels (no one thinks about tunnels, they get past all kinds of containment which going out the back door or window won't hack).
random and strange objects(furniture sized) in a room. It creates "dead space" which means it obstructs the view and forces you to maneuver around it in order to make sure no one is hiding in or on the otherside of said object. it also tends to make the thinking process go "ker-chunk" when you do your dynamic entry and the room you have to clear looks like an escher painting or dada-ist experiment.
last but not least.... booby traps. cause after the first one (if you are lucky) you will have to stop and check every doorway and closet before you go through or open it, and that's just time consuming as fuck.
this all buys you time to get out the tunnel. cause without forewarning, there's not much you're going to be able to do to resist a raid. all you can do is hopefully slow the team down while you skedaddle and find away past the cordon they have erected around your house.
