Mysterious Cheesy Escape

You run silently towards the double doors and push your key inside. It jams right away, but soon turns and the door swings open. However, there is no time to congratulate yourself. You run into the hallway, searching for hiding places. But remember, you also have the option to run immediately to the exit, or somewhere safe. You do not have much time to decide. The footsteps are loud as ever now, like a drumbeat ringing in your ears.
