You yank your arm away, panicking.

Facing such terrifying foes, you sprint back then turn into the garden, rounding the house as quickly as you can.

There is a bang.

Gunfire.

Something hits the stonework, but you keep going.

Half a minute later, you stop and crouch by a bush, panting. Footsteps are following, and someone is coming from the other direction, too. A shambling walk; groaning… It sounds like a zombie, not a human.

To one side is a small shed. Is its door unlocked? You’re not sure. But with fences all around, it may be your only option…

You decide to…

  1. Hunker lower in the bush (click here).
  2. Run into the shed (click here).
