"Fuck this." You mutter, throwing your car back into drive and taking off.
You aren't dealing with this anymore, body or no body. Hit and run or not. You're going straight home. If a cop saw that they can arrest you later.

The orange glow in the horizon is set in an eerie tone with the sirens wailing and sounds of screaming in the distance. All you can think about is making sure your family is safe.

Try to run the body over?
TURN TO FROM THE WINDOWSBack up and lead her away from your family?
TURN TO GOOSE CHASEStay exactly where you are?
