lynn Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 As I was walking through the mall, all the lights went out in the entire mall it became spooky silent for a moment then the silence was broken from all the stores started shutting their doors and gate things. This is what nightmares are made of....lol and all I could think of is the Die Hard movies, everything bad starts with all the lights going out:lol:....so I being a big chicken and mildly afraid of the dark hauled booty out of there.

Saille Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I would be watching the local news to find out why that happened. :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomLovesClassics Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Were there storms in the area or something? That is weird. I am glad you were able to see to get out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommylawyer Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I love it when creepy things happen in stores! Do let us know what happened if you find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
********* Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Maybe it was some sort of drill? Like, remember when we were in elementary school, and we had to do tornado drills, and all the kids had to go out into the halls, crouch down, and cover their heads with their hands? Maybe something like that? Man, I wouldn't have just left, I would have started asking everyone until I knew what was going on. Well, if I had my dc I would have left, since I would have been worried about their safety. But if I was by myself, I'd have been tracking down a security guard or something to get some answers.

Hillary in KS Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 My first thought was that the doors were all wired to close when the power goes off. I don't know if that was it though. why didn't you ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynn Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 I wish it was something more exciting like a zombie invasion. Nope, just a plain old "no one knows why" power outage in that part of town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragons in the flower bed Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 :lol::lol::lol::lol: Love your new avatar, btw. ;) Go, Percy! I stole the idea from you, completely, as in, saw yours, ran and Googled "Percy avatars" and plugged in the one I liked best. I'd been needing a new one. I'd rather have Chiron, but can't find a good one that's still recognizable as from the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terabith Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 (edited) I would be running the kids through a pop quiz on what to do when zombies attack. Okay, I admit I've never actually run the kids through zombie safety drills. That would entail telling them about zombies, and my four year old is still terrified by the thought of the tooth fairy, so I don't think sleep would ever happen again. But.....I have to admit, my husband and I have talked about it a lot. It's kind of one of those situations where even if the zombies are slow and dumb, if they aren't annihilated quickly, we're all doomed...... I probably take this all waaaaaay too seriously. :lol: Edited August 26, 2009 by Terabith why can't i spell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I always carry a small flashlight in my purse, just for the one-in-a-million scenario like you encountered. Many stores (offices, hallways in buildings, etc...) do not have windows or have very few. Bet that was definitely a weird sensation to have happen....

swimmermom3 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Was there pulsing music? Are you sure you didn't just wander into Abercrombie or one of those very dark stores where you can't tell what color the clothing is or if indeed that is clothing you're touching.:001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the youngest three children knew about zombies at or before age four because of much older siblings with poor judgment. Mostly the kids are not too freaked, but my youngest is the most sensitive. I wouldn't run him through a zombie drill until I could see the red of their chins.
