A common question we ask ourselves from time to time is - In the event of a disaster, be it house fire, flood, cyclone or earthquake, what would be the first thing, after your family, that you'd save?
These items above struck me as odd?! A fan and T.V.? Different strokes for different folks I guess, but they wouldn't be my pick.
Ask this question of your characters. You learn a lot about people and their priorities with this question.
For the record I wouldn't go back. Once my family was out I'd stay out. There would be things I'd miss, sure, but even irreplaceable things are held in my mind and my heart; and honestly, I am that indecisive and run by my mood that it would cripple me to have to make such a split second decision, so I'd let it go.
We've had to start over a couple of times and you know, it's amazing what you can live without, or what you don't miss until you see it again.
Food for thought, especially at this time of year.
Happy writing ;)
