I was home alone and absolutely shaking with terror once. It was the middle of the night, I was extremely tired but I couldn’t sleep for hearing this very low, deep, wheezy breathing noise coming from inside my bedroom. The lights were off but I was too scared to even get out my bed to look around to see what was making the noise. I couldn’t move. I may have cried a little bit from exhaustion. But I plucked up the courage and decided to face whatever it was. And I found, under a mountain my toys/dirty washing – my Darth Vader mask with sound fx included. I was overjoyed and not only was I happy there wasn’t some dying animal lurking in my bedroom, but I found one of my favourite ever toys. I’m still glad I found it, it only happened last week.

What doomsday scenario have you thought the most about in terms of how you would react/survive (i.e. zombie apocalypse, asteroid e.t.c) For a zombie apocalypse you will need a headquarters with good protection, weapons, source of food, medicine and transport to obtain all of the above (motorbikes and SUVs). An abandoned school or prison could work, as long as you ensure there’s no contamination inside of course.
