For five seasons—until
I began to turn zombie-like myself—The Walking Dead captured my inner
teen’s imagination.
Little did I
know the show’s many lessons would come in handy.
Five stand out from
the crowd:
Wear gloves
and a mask when outdoors.
A bandoleer or an ammo belt can look quite stylish, too.
Keep your
social distance. Particularly
when passersby issue guttural sounds.
Gas up your vehicle.
You’ll need it to escape. Besides, gas is under two bucks right now.
Don’t follow
leaders. Especially those
who’ve turned orange—the first sign they’re zombies!
No matter
what, carry on. As the
hero Rick Grimes said, “We won’t get weak. That’s not in us anymore. We’ll make
it work.”
NOTE: If you or someone near is suffering
right now, please forgive my stab at gallows humor. Stay well! And fear the walking dead.
