Like cannibalism.

I figure all I have to do is lay low until the gun-nutter neighbors are down to their last bullets. Then I'll just wait until I hear their final shots, wives, kids, themselves. Free meat! Dinnertime! There will even be enough for my dogs.

It will be as easy as finding food in the garbage is today, a skill I acquired as an off-his-meds lunatic living in my car in a church parking lot, sometime after I quit high school and before I graduated from a fancy university, back in the later half of the 20th century. (Don't tell my parents I was ever that fucked up. From my rock-bottom young-adult car-living awfulness my first step back up into ordinary society was living in the garden shed of an insane Vietnam War vet... I fled when he asked me to inventory the contents of the crawl space under his house. I was afraid of what I might find. He had one of those little carts down there that ordinary people use to work under cars.)
