Scary! Being buried alive is one of the worst things I can imagine. But John got the guy himself! Yay!

[caffienekitty]

Yeah, that was part of the reason this took so long to finish. It went kind of like:

Me: Look. Dude. You are in a coffin, underground, running out of breathable air, with a kind of a bomb thing on top of you. Can't you just, you know, hang out, breathe and wait to get rescued?

John: No.

Me: But you're-

John: No.

Me: *sigh* Fine.

*shrug* so yeah. Also, I wanted John to have a chance to do the Romero "hand comes out of grave" schtick.

[aelfgyfu_mead]

John: No.

Me: But you're-

John: No.

Yep. John is like that!

[caffienekitty]

Absolutely!

This is awesome! And, of course, John is super-awesome.

[caffienekitty]

Thanks! Very glad to see you're still around the place as well!

Watched through Episode 2.2 over Christmas with my daughter, and now find your fic--it's like a second Christmas! Only I have to be careful not to go past what I've watched.

No spoilers for anything in this one, though in retrospect, one thing might be seen as a bit of a reference to something you haven't seen yet (even though it's really not).

That was suspenseful! I like that John was able to do something to help himself out!

[caffienekitty]

He wouldn't just lie there and wait to be rescued, but that's our John.
