The myth of the safe call

Safe calls, IMO, have the wrong name. They should be called 'where to find the body' calls.

They won't keep you safe. Not unless the person you made the call to has ESP, can feel your brain waves of peril, get to you in time and kick down the door.

They won't scare off a sociopath. They won't make him not kill you.

If your gut is screaming at you enough to tell you "Danger, Jill Subbison, Danger!", why the fuck are you even going to meet?

Seriously, the best weapon you have is instinct and folks really need to learn how to listen to it.

If you decide to go, despite your misgivings, take a fucking weapon. A safe call isn't going to keep you safe, only YOU can do that.
