What Would You Do If … Dilemmas In A Zombie Apocalypse: No. 13 – The Soldier’s Dilemma

There’s been a fresh outbreak and your unit’s the first to be sent in. You’ve heard rumours about what the disease does to people but you’ve never seen a zombie up close before so you’re not too sure what they look like. You turn a corner and find yourself a few feet from a little old lady who’s shuffling slowly away from you. Something about her reminds you of your granny yet there’s something odd about her too. You shoulder your gun and line up the shot then a thought goes through your head: is she really infected or is she just old and infirm? If you call out to her, you’ll know the moment she turns round but if she’s infected she’s close enough that she might be on you before you can pull the trigger. What do you do?
