1. If thereβs a thief inside your house and you come face-to-face with him, what everyday object would you grab to use against him? I would grab a scale (ruler). It is something simple, common, and easily available in my house or study area.
2. Why that object? What makes it feel safer or more useful to you than just running or doing nothing? I chose a scale because it is light but strong enough to keep distance between me and the person. It helps me stay alert and gives me a quick way to react instead of freezing. It also helps me protect myself just long enough to move away safely.
3. If you used it, what would your main goal be? My main goal would be to create distance, stay safe, and escape from the situation as quickly as possible. I would not try to fight, only to protect myself and reach a safer place.
4. How would you try to stay as safe as possible if this happened? I would stay calm, avoid getting too close, and slowly move toward an exit or safe room. I would try to lock myself in a safe place, call for help, and make sure I do not put myself in unnecessary danger.
