Suzie Costello wouldn't describe herself as a hero, not even if she were the last woman on Earth. Turns out she's the second last woman on Earth so it'll have to do.
With the Earth frozen in time, Suzie becomes locked in a battle to save the life of Alex, the only other human around. They're being hunted by alien warriors, and, with every hour that doesn't pass, the stakes are only getting higher.
Suzie Costello would never describe herself as a hero. But she would say she's someone who always makes the right choices. Wouldn't she?
Tropes:
- Bash Brothers: Suzie and Alex gradually become this over the course of the story, as they only have each other to rely on.
- Deadpan Snarker: The Referee.
- Downer Ending: Suzie can't figure out a way to get both her and Alex out of the competition alive, so she kills Alex to end it.
- Humans Are Morons: The Referee certainly seems to think so.
- Hunting the Most Dangerous Game: Various alien hunters have paid to take part in this sort of competition.
- Loophole Abuse: Seems like the story is heading this way as Suzie spends time reading the official rule book between matches, then subverted.
- Time Stands Still: For everyone except Suzie, Alex, the Referee, and the alien hunters.
