I learned a
long time ago that there was no such thing as enough security. No matter how
much I prepare, I would never be able to stop the people who wanted to get
to me. No, not thieves and would-be
muggers. Not even home invasions. I deal with supernatural threats, and they’re
not scared off by an alarm system, bars on the windows, or even a foot-thick
sheet of titanium.
Sure, I
have the home and office consecrated so they can’t just barge in, but doing
anything more than that won’t really stop them. Firepower isn’t a deterrent,
either. I could stock up with automatic weapons full of the ammunition that
would stop them, gear up with mystical talismans and charms, but it wouldn’t
make a difference in the long run. There’s more of them than there are of me,
and they’re infinitely more powerful.
How do I
stay alive? The same way the ant does. Don’t get noticed, and don’t get
underfoot.
