You swing your pillowcase at his head and stun him. Richard uses his pillowcase to knock the knife out of his hand. The three of you run out the front door.

The Halloween killer runs to the door. "Come back here! You can't escape me!"

Richard plods after you. He is not a fast runner. "Wait for me! I have asthma!"

What will you do?

I'll run for my life.
I'll slow down for Richard.
