 Kate turns onto the dirt road, still allowing plenty of distance between your car and theirs. The red tail lights of your prey visible through breaks in the trees now and then.


The dirt road stretches ahead of you, too dark to navigate safely in the moonlight. Instinctively, and without thinking, Kate switches on the headlights. Bright beams illuminating the trees in white light. Ahead of you, the red tail lights disappear. Kate looks at you, a worried look on her face. You urge her on with a nod.

After driving another few hundred yards, you spot their car parked in the road. Lights off, both door open. Realising what is happening, Kate throws the car into reverse, but it’s too late. Accurate and deadly gunfire erupts from the forest. Bullets punch holes on your car. The engine dies, clouds of steam erupting from underneath the hood before you are hit.

The end.
