And so it seems that our test subject has escaped by utilizing the long held belief that it's always better to have a Zombie behind you than ahead of you. Congratulations are in order.
On a side note, I've always found the tactics of monster escape especially interesting. When dealing with slow moving monsters like crippled Zombies, a foot dragging mummy, or a confused Frankenstein's monster, I believe it's better to be in the open on level ground where the best option is simply to out distance the pursuing monster.
This, however, is not the best method when trying to escape the mega-monsters--the 400 foot behemoths like Godzilla. I believe the best course of action is to choose an escape route that runs perpendicular to the monster's current path. If he's heading north, go east or west. Let him chase the panicked mob and let him pass you by. Remember, no matter how slow it appears Godzilla is moving, his long stride will offset the speed of the fastest runner. And for God's sake, don't get on a train that's headed in his direction.
As for Zombies, there are always options. Remaining undetected is usually the safest bet, but when that's unavoidable know a Zombie's limitations as well as your own.
