Learn To Recognize A Bad Situation When You See One.

I’m not going lie, I’ve always pulled for Father Gabriel. Even when everyone was all “GRRR!” about him. I stuck by him, because I had faith that he’d get better, and I was right.

Case in point: The moment he realized that he and Aaron were being asked to enter the Riverbend apartment complex, with some forty-odd people inside, and had no backup, he immediately said “No. I’m not doing this.”

He knew that the plan Toby was presenting was dumber than toast and did not want to be saddled with such a stupid plan that might get him and Aaron killed.

Being able to “read the room”, so to speak, in a zombie apocalypse is a rather underrated skill. So many people see things that could easily go sideways and just…go with it, but in the apocalypse, those same things could mean death. Because we think of some things as obvious, we almost get to a point where we ignore them, but, we should be doing the opposite.

If some place, plan, person or thing looks, smells, sounds fishy to you, don’t go there, don’t trust them, don’t do it. Find another place, another way, whatever it may be to avoid doing, going into, or taking in something you know will be bad.

It comes down to this: If something looks bad, it probably is. Trust your instincts.
