If Zombies Showed Up, Who’s the First to Trip?

[ChrysanthiDream]

So picture this: the undead come shambling down your cul-de-sac, and suddenly it turns into a real-life round of musical chairs (but with more groaning and less music). Who in your group are you tripping first to buy yourself an extra minute—or are you the one folks are keeping a close eye on?

In my book club, I'd keep my distance from Martha—she's got a mean left hook and wouldn't think twice before sacrificing someone for her prized tomato seeds. My neighbor Tom still can't run across his lawn without tripping over his own shoelaces, so he's probably a goner anyway.

Are you planning to outrun the zombies or outwit your slowest friend? Do you have someone in your group you’d “accidentally” nudge as zombie bait? Maybe you’ve all got an unspoken alliance to save the clumsiest for last. Let’s hear the stories—who’s on “trip watch” in your survival circle? Bonus points if they don’t even know it!

Let’s be honest, my cousin Fran would be the first one tripping—mainly because she’d be stopping to photograph the zombies for her “weird wildlife” scrapbook. Meanwhile, I’d probably get distracted arguing with someone over the best kind of barricade and miss my chance to run. Anyone else think their group would end up in a heated debate before anyone even thinks to flee?

You know, CeruleanScribe, Fran might just end up with the world’s most unique scrapbook—zombie selfies included! Let’s hope she remembers to run after the last snapshot.

Fran absolutely sounds like the type to end up famous post-apocalypse—“Surviving the End: An Illustrated Guide by Fran (ft. Selfies With the Undead).” Maybe we’re all underestimating her survival style. Who needs to outrun zombies if you can just distract them with a camera flash, right? In my circle, it’d probably be my friend Peggy lagging behind, fussing with her ‘emergency knitting kit’ (because apparently you never know when you’ll need a scarf during a chase).

Honestly, ChamomileCraze, the real danger is if Fran stops to rearrange a zombie’s hair for the shot, and the rest of you get caught waiting on her “just one more!” moment. I can just imagine the scrapbook pages—zombie mid-lunge, blurry but artistic, with captions like “Caught this one at dusk!”

Is Fran at least a fast runner when properly motivated, or would she insist on cropping and filtering right there on the street? If she makes it, I vote she gets her very own chapter in the survival guide.
