9 thoughts on “The Day the Sun Stopped Shining…It starts today…You have 6 days!

  1. I’d take my tooth brush and toothpaste, a change of clothes, my rings and my favorite walking shoes. However, if any light was available by which I could read; I’d take only my favorite books.

  2. 5 Items: A rifle w/scope, medical suplies, food, cold weather gear, matches.
    These items would afford me a chance at survival. I would head for secluded natural shelter in the mountains.

  3. Very clever, Kim! I have to say, I take nothing but my wallet and make a run for the local hardware store/lumberyard because I think I’m better off in my own house until the initial frenzy passes and I think I might need to shore up some windows and doors. And I make pass by the liquor store on my way back, too 😉 Happy DTSSS Tour!

  4. Five items hmmmm……..
    1. Sword or Hunting Knife
    2. Food Supplies
    3. Medical Supplies
    4. GPS
    5. A Handheld Gaming Device

  5. 5 items eh? Well, I suppose I will escape to the nearest ocean (which means I will have to start that trip a couple of days before) and take dynamite and a torch and lots of energy bars, goggles and I am not sure.
    Once darkness descends, I am hoping to be close to my destination. I will light a torch as I go so I can see where I am going, then wait by the sea. As for dynamite, well a means to attack whatever will hiss or move around me on my way or once there. Energy bars will sustain me for a while before I use my goggles when darkness becomes too scary and float in the sea, oh yeah I will need something to float on too, so that should the day or sun never rise again, I will eventually die in the ocean with the fishes, starved and maybe eaten by them LOL. Mmh… Horrible death, I do not like it…. Better than to die at the hands of the humans.Then who knows I may rise again from the water as half human and half fish or whale or maybe shark. I will look around and all humans would have become something else too…

  6. What are 5 things I would would take with me if I had to leave our house at this very moment? My garden utility belt (1), which has garden shears (2), knife (3), trowel (4). I would take my coat too (5).
