Zombies...why did it have to be zombies?

[valarltd]

So, I watched The Walking Dead premiere. An hour and a half of post-apoc with some of the most gruesome stuff ever. I mean I've written it, but not SEEN it. then I'm busting my tail on some edits and I hear a scrape at the door.

Not a knock.
Not someone coming in the house.
A scrape.

"Oli?" I ask. It's about 10 minutes too early for her to be home from school.

I shake my head. "You know it's not Oli. It's never Oli." And I GOT UP TO CHECK!

Half way to the door, I smacked myself upside the head. "Angel, you have the survival instincts of a cantaloupe!" So I picked up a bat as I opened the door....


In time to see the UPS van pulling away and my new boots in between the storm door and heavy door.
*headdesk*

Why don't you just explore a dark basement armed only with a candle?

Or go up the stairs to check on a noise?

advice that will keep you (un)alive!

Go in the water.
Run up the stairs instead of out the door.
Drop the gun next to the "dead" killer.
Get naked in front of a window.
Pick up that innocent-looking hitchhiker.
Break quarantine.
Take the shortcut.

All guaranteed!

My first thought, after the cantaloupe, was "I'm smarter than this!" To which a nasty little voice in my head commented, "Apparently not."

Then I reminded myself that a zombie apocalypse could not possibly have broken out in the last half an hour and I live in the real world.

I still didn't put down the bat...

Or open the window to find out what the odd tapping sound is...
