    1. BUSCA UN BUEN ESCONDITE.Recuerda que deberás pasar oculto el resto de tu vida, así que elige un sitio alejado, peligroso, inaccesible para los demás, pero no olvides que sea cómodo y que haya una fuente de alimento cerca. Se recomiendan lugares solitarios como estanques con insectos, tiraderos de basura o bibliotecas escolares, en fin, deja volar tu imaginación.
