The grace period ran out at twenty to ten while I was about four hundred metres up a scree slope with my hands on my knees.
FWANG!

Six kilometres, downhill, in the wrong direction, into the one piece of terrain on this island that funnels every living thing on the north side into a single path.
I marked it as read and kept climbing.
It took me until eleven to get above the treeline.
By then I'd killed nothing since the gully, which the watch made a point of telling me.

[Rank: 1,031 / 1,044]
Ninety points and thirteen people below me, and all thirteen of them were presumably still on a beach somewhere refusing to move.
Good.
The first one came at me on a scree slope at about half past eleven, and it was not what should have been there.
FWANG!
