Prompt of the Living Dead

In the unlikely event of a zombie apocalypse, the first thing I would do would be to scream bloody murder, just to get it out of the way. Then I would calmly collect myself and proceed to make my house an impenetrable fortress. I will have the following objects stockpiled with me:

1. Food and water for as long as possible. I have faith that the U.S. military will be able to wipeout the zombie plague—a la World War Z—within a few months, so I will mostly be waiting.

2. My personal savings in gold (Au). If the combined armies of the world cannot save us, then all of Earth will descend into anarchy. Precious metals and vital resources will become the de facto currency. Back on the gold standard, at least Ron Paul will be happy.

3. My automatic Nerf® Gun. When push comes to shove, I will trust my life to my Nerf® N-Strike Longshot. I will attach to each plastic dart a capsule of a highly caustic chemical solution that will explode on impact. With this setup I will mow down the marauding, mausoleum-desecrating menaces.
