"I think maybe we should head north. I don't want to go into the mountains," David says.

"What's the alternative? Walk up there with no guns, hoping they'll invite us in for some coffee?" David says.

David shrugs. "I don't know if I believe farmer John for sure. Besides, we could still find the hospital intact, isn't that the point?"

3. Stop.

"I don't think I have to warn everyone to be careful," you say as you slow to a stop. "Nicole, you stay in the car."

Nicole pulls on your arm. "I don't like this," she says. "Wolfy, let's go."

"It'll be OK," you tell her. You grab your shotgun.

David steps out the passenger side door and readies his rifle. Jacob steps out of the car behind him.

You push open your door and check your shotgun. You click the safety off.

"Hey, you OK!?" you yell. The man doesn't seem to hear you. You take a few steps forward. "Are you OK?"

Finally he stops crawling and pushes himself up on one side, shakily getting to his feet. His right eye is missing. You grimace, and point your shotgun at him.

He's dressed in jeans and a wife beater. Tattoos on his arms. They look like snakes. He's got a crew cut. His shoes are worn down and dirty. Blood covers his hands and stains his shirt.

His good eye fixes on you. "I... I killed her," he says. "I killed her."

You do not reply. He begins to walk slowly toward you.

David's voice comes from behind you. "I got him. I'm gonna take him."

"Please," the man says, in a clear voice. "If you're real, kill me. I can't resist them anymore. I tried. I tried so hard. Please."

"I think we should do what he says," David says.

"We have the liquor in the trunk!" Jacob says angrily. "We can save him!"

You glance back at the car. Nicole is in the back seat, looking afraid. You turn back to the man.

"Please," he says again.

**********************************

1. Shoot him with your shotgun in the chest.

2. Shoot him with your 9mm in the head.

3. Shotgun in the head.

4. Tell David to kill him.

5. Tell David to stand down. You're gonna try to save him with the alcohol you have left.

6. Shrug. Get back in the car, drive off.

4.

The guy clearly wants his exit ticket, and David wants to hand it to him. Everybody wins.

I don't know if we should be trying to subdue two wormy guys.  If we don't find more liquor and we give the last of it to this random guy, then we're screwed and this guy is screwed too......Hum.

you guys do realize the hypocrisy of shooting what is basically a copy of the main character from the start of the story, right?

I want to say 5, but he said he already tried and failed to resist them.

As appealing as the other execution options are, I suppose 4 would probably be the best. David seems to be more of the gun expert around here, even though the main character is catching up.

...man, I don't know what the fuck to do. Withholding my vote until someone makes a better point.

We didn't plead for death... D-did we?
As far as I could tell, we were just kind of bleary-eyed as we watched some heads explode.

Lost cause, honestly.  Even if we do force enough liquor down his throat to stop the worms, 10 to 1 says he shoots himself the moment he gets his hands on any of our arsenal.

That said, capping an innocent is pretty morally fucked up and wastes ammo.  Although in a certain way it's the absolute meanest thing to do to the guy, I'ma go with 6.

(Having an easy test specimen would be nice, too, but hell if I'm going to go all Nuremberg for it.)

I suppose you could get him drunk enough to forget his problems.

4.  Guy wants to die, let's give him his wish.  We're not near any mini marts right now so our booze supply is as precious as our gas supply.  And if we did booze him up, what then?  Let him ride along as another ticking time bomb?  Take him back to town?  It would endanger all of us needlessly.  The booze didn't cure us permanently, we can't afford to give it away.

We saw what happened to Benny.  Maybe this new guy will be in David's hallucinations.

That's why I kind of thought we should shoot him to try and see if there's any link between hallucinations and whatnot by "experiment". The real problem to liquoring him up is we don't have a safe place to detox him... If we were willing to camp here, and right here, I'd push for it (and watching that guy like a hawk while he gets purged) a lot harder.

4.  We can't plan to save everyone we meet.  That's just naive.  He's lost control already, and therefore cannot force himself to swallow alcohol.  Most likely he'll lose his face at any moment.  If David wants to put him to rest, let him.

Plus, that means we get to keep more of our ammo.

4. Tell David to kill him.

"Take him," you say.

"No--"

Crack.

The man's head snaps back. For a moment, you see him standing there, both eyes holes. One goes all the way through.

Then he collapses. His arms spasm on the ground for a moment, reminding you of the vines when a faceless dies.

You turn to face the car. David is nonchalantly getting back in. Jacob is staring at the body. He is very white.

You walk toward him, and touch his arm.

Her jerks away from you.

"This isn't right," he says. "You just shot an innocent man."

"Well, technically, I shot him," David says from inside the car.

"We had the alcohol in the trunk," Jacob says. "We could have saved him."

"And had another ticking time bomb jammed into the car with us? He was asking for death," you say.

"You... no. This isn't right. I won't be a part of this. No longer."

Jacob turns, and begins to walk down the road, back the way you came. David is looking up at you, rolling his eyes.

Nicole steps out of the car. "Jakey!" she says. But Jacob does not appear to hear her. He only continues down the road. His steps are rigid.

"Jacob!" you call. But still nothing.

************************************

1. Go after him.

2. Leave him. Guy is soft. Can't even use a gun. He's dead weight anyway.
