I'm Liz Sauer and this is Ghosts in the Verbs, a podcast of ghost stories from Wellesley

Massachusetts.

A warning, adults who use adult language told me these frightening tales, these ghost

stories aren't for kids.

Something wonderful happened this summer.

Chris fell into the walking dead rabbit hole and binged all ten seasons.

Now he's on season 11.

I fell off around season 5, but that's neither here nor there.

When he came home with three jars of peanut butter, I knew his conversion was complete.

He's concerned that the fence around our yard won't keep out a horde, but it will slow

down stragglers enough to put them down before they become a threat.

Have I thought about getting a supply of plywood to cover the windows?

I know damn well I have.

We haven't really done much to actually prep for the apocalypse, but it's super fun to

talk about.

The what if of it all.

Gives us something else to chat about after months of all the other what ifs that aren't

so much fun.

Unfortunately, our next neighbor sucks all the fun out of the discussion because, according

to her, there are no what ifs.

It's coming.

It's just a matter of time.
