Brains?

[davywavy]

When out striding briskly across the rolling grounds of the Stately Davy Estates, in between setting the hounds on passing locals and stamping on any flowers I might encounter I often divert myself by thinking. Last time I went out walking I got to thinking about zombie movies, which led me on to thinking about what I'd do if I were caught in the situation depicted in films like Dawn of the Dead or Resident Evil; i.e. that zombies are prowling the land eating folk, and I'm trying to survive. What would I do? I look out over the countryside and wonder where I would hide, and when the food runs out, which of my friends I would eat first in order to survive?* Naturally, zombies are very stupid and slow but they're also persistent and hard to stop so relying upon fleetness of foot alone is a short-term solution. Some way of avoiding being devoured in the longer term must be found, and quickly.
It's a diverting thought - the body of literature on the subject is large, ranging from hiding in a cave with a gun and 60000 tins of Spam right through to raggedyman stripping off and joining the throng in the hope of some hot zombie love.

So here's the question for today: You wake up tomorrow morning to discover that the dead are rising from the grave with a hunger for the flesh of the living. What do you do?

Now that would be telling...

Don't think I'm going to give away my Zombie Survival Plan so easily Mr. Wavy.

EDIT: I will volunteer that it has several phases (immediate, intermediate, long-term), and I have already located key resources.

It also has incidental value for: earthquake, floods, riots, breakdown of civilization, the Rapture. ;-)
