*Survivors' Journal-November 19 2018. The human population was thriving, and happy. Many problems of the past drifted into history, only distant memories. Until they came. They came without reason. Ruthlessly killing everyone. I am a lone survivor but not for long.-End of Survivors' Journal* A strange object fell from the sky. A man was struck by another. Everyone stood in terror and shock as hundreds more fell. The man struck stood back up, strangely malformed. His arms seemed to have become vines and his body bloated and twisted. From within the objects came small, strange yellow creatures. They latched onto a host and slipped inside their bodies and became one with them. They had no desire but to kill and infect. Graveyards became breeding grounds of the malformed hosts. Few, if any were spared. When the few survivors fought back the parasites lived on even when the body was dead. It seemed like there was no hope for Earth.
Hope you enjoyed reading that OP. Now you are a survivor of this apocalypse. Here is the sheet. 16 points to spend on stats.

I tell Dave to help me lift the manhole while whats-his-name covers us if any of them try to attack. I say to run to the city while running with the manhole in our hands to use as a shield or to throw if needed.

You head out the back and hear shrieks of infected. He says "If we fight it, we will most likely die but if we run we lose our shelter." You ask him "What is it?" He says "It is a strange infected that too many parasites infected which caused its DNA to change in a manner that its body ballooned up huge and its arms turned to 20 feet long tentacles. I encountered it earlier but I escaped. It must have followed me here." What do you do?

"I think I will take my chances out there" I point out into the city "We need to run, if this is as dangerous as it sounds, we have no chance to fight it" I wait for one moment to see if he follows me and then I run and run and run until I can't hear the creature anymore.

You two start running like Hell to the city and the creature sends out roots that crack the ground. They try to grab you but you manage to get away. You hide in a pawn shop. What now?

Yes, he's with you. You search the store and find exactly what you thought to find. A bunch of random junk. Nothing really helpful. What now?

We start to run in the first direction we see. Down a nearby dark tunnel. I ask Dave and (please remind me) if they have a flashlight.

It was John I think. Right? Anyway, neither of them have a flashlight. You go down a tunnel and hear rats and such, but that is all. You see an open manhole where light is pouring in from. What do you do?
