But, as you all should know, I'm not big on the idea of inflicting pain on myself, so I don't think very often.
HOWEVERS
A couple of days ago, there was a small spark of brain activity. For that one moment, instead of an arm-waving zoned out sponge, I was an arm-waving zoned out sponge with an IDEA.
The store was consequently evacuated and the area around my register was cordoned off until the end of my shift.

ZOMBIES. He is not alone in his fight for survival however - other staff members are with him, each one trying to ensure that they all live through the day.
