Strength and Weakness

Olishi4

My weakness is that I am short-sighted. I hardly ever wear my glasses so the chances are that I wouldn't have them on in the event of a zombie apocalypse. Even if I did, I'd probably lose them fairly quick.

Not that i wouldnt be aware of one close to me but sometimes when I am out for a walk, I see someone only a short distance across the road and in that case, I wouldn't be able to tell if they were a zombie. Even if it was a human, I'd still be missing certain things that you pick up from people like whether their expression was threatening or not until they got close etc.

I prefer a more supportive role usually but when I'm thrown in at the deep end, I tend to react quick, calm and appropriate for the situation so that's my strength. Not sure how well that would fare in a zombie apocalypse but that's what I'm going with.

So more so, innate or biological strengths and weaknesses.

Im a sociopath. If the large volume of books Ive read on the subject is anything to go by, I'm golden.

There's your weakness, you lack the ability to recognise them

in all seriousness, My strengths are my ability to keep calm and think on my feet.

My weaknesses are I'm impulsive and make bad choices.

Being humorously contradictive is definitely a strength

Read Mark Tufo's 'zombie fallout' series. The main character is just like that WWMTD ( what would Michael Talbot do)

Well, you can just work on the assumption they're a danger. Zombies shouldn't be a problem because they won't move like living people.

As far as I can remember you don't need glasses to get a clear image through a rifle scope. So that would allow you to scout ahead.

No joke Scumlord but some people do walk like zombies. I often see someone walking in my direction and I swear they are slugging along like a zombie and because I can't see very well, I jokingly think to myself "hmm what would I do if that was a zombie?, maybe there's been an outbreak!".

Also not just the danger of human strangers but I'd find it hard to spot my own people if they were a certain distance away. Like people are blurry to me if I'm crossing the road and they are just on the other side.

I probably won't have one of those rifle scopes.

Head off to that place on ormond quay in dublin, be grand - if it's still there that is - they sell all sorts of mad stuff, plus all the capel street survival shops and army surplus gear is just around the corner
