If Zombies Knock, Do You Answer the Door?

[AquaFern1028]

Picture this: you’re deep in your bunker, shelves lined with home-canned green beans, and suddenly there’s a polite (well, maybe not so polite) knock at your door. You peek through the periscope (or peephole, if you’re less fancy) and there they are—zombies! Do you A) offer them a mason jar of pickled beets to see if it calms them down, B) pretend you’re not home and hope they don’t notice the garden gnomes guarding the entrance, or C) try to teach them about crop rotation

I’m definitely leaning toward pretending I’m not home and letting the gnomes handle negotiations. Though, now I’m wondering if zombies would actually go for pickled beets or demand something fancier from my pantry—maybe sourdough starter? AquaFern1028, teaching them crop rotation could work, but I suspect their attention span might not last past the compost bin. Either way, those polite knocks always make me wish I’d installed a zombie
