The minute someone insists on “just grabbing their favorite garden shears” or pausing to label the last jar of pickled beets, I guarantee the zombies are licking their lips (if they have lips, anyway). I can just see folks frantically stuffing their tote bags with home remedies, a knitting project, maybe a nice rosemary plant for the road—sorry, but we’re not escaping with an armload of potted herbs! And the flip-floppers? Those are the folks who trip over their own sandals before a single groan is even heard.
Honestly, anyone who tries to make a “quick snack plate” before leaving is signing their own menu—zombies love a taste of indecision with their appetizers! You know what would actually make me pause? Choosing between my stash of dried lavender or the fancy calendula salve. Not practical when shuffling undead are in hot pursuit, but it’s hard to break old habits.
Is there anyone else who thinks they’d risk it all for the “good” honey or a last-minute dash to water the tomatoes?
