Run Like The Wind

You decide that it would be best to just run.

Zoe and Joe look just as confused about where to go as you are. They begin to run in circles as if they were a dog chasing its tail. Joe tries to wade across the stream and Zoe is trying to find an opening in the forest to get out. You just run, trying to dodge the trees. Everyone is still in sight, but then you see a tree fall. You don’t realize that it landed right near Zoe until Joe runs out of the stream, running to save her. The tree has landed on her leg and Joe is attempting to save her. This is when you notice that a tree is heading your way.

Should you
Run to save Zoe,
Dodge into a hole to save yourself,
Decide there is not enough time and hope for the best.
