Pace

His technanite pacemaker kept time a little longer than a regular heart keeping him alive a bit too long. His ship obliterated... @130story

The pace was too fast. He paused to use his inhaler, & his quarry had vanished when he looked again. The apocalypse was imminent. @130story

When the exhausted animal can run no more, it slumps, lathered & shaking. He nears it, panting. A Whispered prayer, then a blade.

PACE guidelines were there to protect the innocent, not guilty. The country was going soft and he wasn't going to put up with it. @130story
