A Post-Apocalypse Bucket List

I thought it would be fun to write a small bucket list if I ended up in an apocalypse scenario.  That is if I survived the initial disaster.  I’m making two versions though:

Not Having a Child Charles (Fictional Me)

  1. Loot and complete all of the big Lego sets I’ve wanted to do.
  2. Visit Yellowstone National Park.
  3. Learn archery.
  4. Lose weight and gain some type of physical conditioning.
  5. Kill a zombie.
  6. Check out the San Francisco zoo.
  7. Visit the Georgia aquarium to see the whale shark.  (Pray nobody has eaten it.)
  8. Catch up on One Piece.
  9. Get a sturdy bicycle to bring along while I snag cars for most traveling.
  10. Finish all of my idea books.

Charles with Son (Real Me)

  1. Finish watching One Piece.
  2. Establish a safe home until we are able to travel.
  3. Travel to various tourist spots.
  4. Get him a dog he isn’t allergic to.
  5. Find a way to get to Japan.
  6. Eat pizza for most meals.
  7. Buy son a water bed.

Really isn’t easy to make the second list because I feel like I’d need my son’s input.  Also, parenting would mean I’d be focused more on his survival than doing whatever I want.  Keeping a child alive in the post-apocalypse doesn’t really allow for a lot of selfishness from what I can tell.

About Charles Yallowitz

Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.

    The list really changes when you have a child’s survival to ensure! You might need a dog either way. I can’t help thinking of I Am Legend.

  2. Surely you can loot a waterbed rather than buy one. Getting to Japan might be a little tricky.

  3. Japan might be out of the question, but I think everything else is possible,
