Stalking Death
by Jeff Currier
The Arouca suspension footbridge’s vista was breathtaking. But when Scott noticed the hovering skull-shaped drones, he pushed aside murmuring sightseers and began sprinting.
Cassie Andros, producer of the insanely popular show Stalking Death, claimed she could see the future. No one believed her. Yet from chicken-bone asphyxiations to fiery crashes, her drones recorded stunningly gruesome deaths.
A loud crack echoed. The bridge undulated wildly. Wailing tourists plummeted into the gorge.
Scott leapt. Landed on the solid abutment, panting in relief. Drones hovered around him.
Why’re they still—
The high-tension bridge cable whipsawing Scott in half generated Cassie’s highest ratings ever.
