MORE ABOUT SHAYLAN
Q: What mythical creature would improve the world most if it existed?
A: I think unicorns or fairies would add some needed magic to the world.
Q: What is your biggest irrational fear?
A: I’m super afraid of being stung by bees. I don’t think I’ve ever been stung by one and have convinced myself I’m probably allergic. Super irrational but it’s how I feel.
Q: How long do you think you could survive in a zombie apocalypse?
A: I don’t think I’d survive long. Maybe a few days? I have zero survival skills and hate running. I’d end up getting bitten and would just join the zombies that have taken over the world.
