Don't risk the damage. side street.
From Create Your Own Story
"Turn down there!" you shout, pointing at the side street, and Claire frantically follows your orders. As you head down the smaller street, you dodge cars sitting quietly on both sides of the street, and your headlights shine across several bodies laying about the road, all bloodied and torn. Claire doesn't slow down as she heads up the street, carefully weaving around the obstacles around you.
"Where do we go?" she asks. "The only things up this way are that old Church and the graveyard."
You peer through the night and wonder. Would there be survivors at the Church, trying to stay safe in a spot of faith and solitude? Would the graveyard be safe, since these crazy infected people seem only to attack the living? Or should you turn around and try and find another path?
