\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m good in a crisis, but it\u2019s not because I\u2019m not afraid. I\u2019m always afraid. I\u2019m so stressed I want to throw up. But I am good in a crisis because I am very, very good at making preparations. I try to cover every angle, to plan for every eventuality.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

People are more likely to cope with the appearance of an animated corpse in a graveyard than one in an ice cream parlor or the changing room of a boutique. They won\u2019t be happy with the appearance of the animated corpse in the graveyard, but they tend to be less outraged.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cDo you think I can pull it off?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cI should think any passerby could pull it off if he tugged on this bit right here,\u201d said Val grimly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
