    If you’re a good hang you could still be a boon. I’d rather be in an apocalypse with someone with a positive outlook and a good sense of humor than an asshole with twenty flash lights. You have to remember that even in the world that we live in now, clowns and comedians get sent to hospitals and war torn countries.

      I’ve recently been reading Semiosis, which is in part about surviving with low resources, as one would presumably be doing in any apocalypse. It’s a series of short stories. There’s one story specifically about the loss of a member of the community who isn’t well liked, but who provides art and a sense of history.

      He’s the second to be found murdered. (That’s not a spoiler, it’s literally the premise of the story.)
