What Happens When I Have Homework

I was trying to not do homework when Dharyll IMed me with the same idea. For about thirty minutes of procrastination he kept feeding my hypothetical situations that I had to solve. Sort of like D&D but without the maps or the magic-ness.
This is the story we came up with. Brilliant.

Hypothetical situation:

Zombie Evan, Katherine and Peter are trying to force their way into the house through the front door (they must be zombies because they haven’t figured out that windows are thinner than doors).

I grab the fire extinguisher from under the sink and extinguish them in the face. Then, I grab Monty, go upstairs, put him in a backpack, crawl out through the window, onto the roof and jump down onto the hood of my car. Then, I run over several zombies and, in the process, get a call from Dharyll telling me that he’s injured. So I run over a few more zombies (don’t worry, the Subaru can take it) and drive down to Beaverton. I check on my family first but it turns out they’re all zombies anyway, so I keep going. Drive drive drive. I find Dharyll in the mall, he said he’d been shot but it turns out that a police officer who thought he was a zombie (but he wasn’t) shot him with rubber bullets and then ran away. So he’s ok. But somehow he wound up in Victoria’s Secret with a mannequin. The catch is that only he can see the mannequin, like in the movie, Mannequin where

“a struggling artist who goes from one dead-end job to another. This all changes when a mannequin he created for a department store window comes magically to life. The mannequin was actually once Ema Hesire, a real-life princess from ancient Egypt. Her beauty and love inspire Switcher to become the best window dresser in town. Of course, there is intrigue involving a rival department store's attempt to drive the heroes out of business, and together the two star-crossed lovers must outwit the store's bumbling security guard, the rival store's scheming executives, and others intent on the store's demise.” (thank you wikipedia).

Just like that. It turns out that he’s married to said mannequin and the whole reason he called me was because they needed a ride out of there. I say “heck with that” and leave them both at which point he screams something along the lines of “You’ll regret this!” And then he and his invisible mannequin are eaten by zombies. Monty and I drive down to the mountains of Arizona, live for a few years until he dies (because he is, after all, a rabbit with a comparatively short lifespan). A few years after that Dharyll wanders up the mountains and finds me. Turns out he escaped from the zombies and is ok after all, but a little bitter. There’s a struggle as he tries to seek revenge but, fortunately, it turns into a scene from Mr. & Mrs. Smith and we make friends after the house has been blow to bits.

The end.
