You make your decision in a flash. How can you trust anyone in a house full of zombies and murderers?

“Free you?” you cry. “No way! I’m getting out of here.”

As footsteps sound outside the door, you dart towards the nearest window, which stands half open.

In your mind, you’re ready to make an acrobatic leap, dangle for a moment, then land safely below. Instead, you thump your forehead hard on the window’s edge.

Dazed, you slump onto the window sill, half in and half out.

Then gravity takes over; you slither headfirst outside, and land with a crunch.

You Are Dead
