Despite all our best efforts, sometimes we are in the wrong place at the wrong time. You go to the Sonic Drive-In just as they run out of corn dogs. You go to the mall on the day they rise. You are resting in the basement, peacefully snoozing, the TV droning in the background, when suddenly you hear gutteral moans and an ominous shuffling sound.
There you are: Stuck in the recliner with the Kardashians making babbling noises in front of you, and a zombie making similar noises behind you. What do you do? You might try to get the zombie to play peek-a-boo. Think of the little zombie girl in the Walking Dead when she picks up her teddy bear. Our most primitive memories often involve the games of infancy. With luck, when the zombie covers his eyes he will no longer realize that you are there. You must then run out of sight while his eyes are covered.
If this plan actually works, let me know.
