day of the Triffids - Inspired by a conversation with twicedead

[davywavy]

Oh no! It's the end of civilisation! The Triffids have risen up and overrun the earth and the necrophagic vegetables are devouring people like it's going out of fashion. You are one of the lucky ones. You are holed up in a safe location with large stocks of food and weaponry and as safe from the Triffids as can be.
One day, a survivor shows up at your stockade and through the kindness of your heart you take him in to protect him from said carniverous cucumbers. However, it quickly turns out that this survivor is a wrong 'un and he's not changing his ways, either - not only does he sneer and spit and call you names, but he also beats up and molests your missus and steals some of your valuable food supplies and clean water. What do you do?

I'd chuck him out. You took him in and did him a favour, and he abused your trust. He didn't have to, but he did anyway. So he can see how he gets on with the Triffids, sounds like they could be best mates!

Without the molesting of the Mrs I might have just locked him in the broomcupboard though. ;-)

It is a bit of a sticking point, isn't it?
I was going to just give him a stern talking to before that. Now I'm putting his eyes out with a mellon baller.

And not just his eyes...
