pretend to be dead
You are so scared. You feel like Boss is breathing down your neck, just itching to rip your cytoplasm apart and scatter it to the winds. You're experienced with being dead. This is what you did for the last 3.2 years, before you decided it might be safe to twitch a little. You curl up as if you are a dried out cyst or something. You let little molecules you have hang out in pathetic nonfunctional manners. Some time passes. You don't attend to how much. You only check every so many metabolic cycles, just in case it is dangerous to. Eventually, things seem to have calmed down, even after a few checks in a row. Part of you can consider that Boss might not be about to kill you, again. What do you do?
