"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. After all that shit this morning, after the bullshit spewing on the radio you are not taking anymore chances. You've got a family to get home to. Fuck some rando on the side of the road.

Still your nerves are racing and you look into your rear view to see if they're okay.

Your vision splits when you see them standing. Running after you. Losing ground of course, but still chasing you down like the goddamned terminator. As they vanish on the horizon you notice that the sky is lit up orange. Something in the distance is on fire. Lots of somethings.

Eventually you turn on your block, pulling into your parking space, killing the engine. You're exhausted. It's been a shit day, to say the least and it isn't even close to being over. Bracing yourself for what you need to get ready for, you swing the door open and-

A sickening gurgle interrupts you. You look up. Her head is flopping impossibly on a broken neck. She's standing in front of you now. You slam your door closed quickly, locking the car again. Her arms are shredded, you think you see bone peeking from beneath muscle but there's so much blood-

You're almost home. You can see the front door from here. You can tell it's closed. Probably locked. The windows are dark. All the houses are dark. There's no power anywhere. 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.

Do you:

Try to run the body over?
TURN TO FROM THE WINDOWS

 Back up and lead her away from your family?
TURN TO GOOSE CHASE

Stay exactly where you are?
TURN TO SIT, STAY
