On our feet, me feeling a bit wobbly, you looking a bit more bruised, I brace myself. The fight has gone longer than our tribe has anticipated. Many thought I’d make quick work of you, but knowing the size difference, some thought I’d be under you rather quickly, tearfully submitting to avoid, or end, a humiliating defeat.
But obviously neither has happened—-yet. I still feel I can win, as I’m sure you do as well. Your tribe is cheering you on, extolling you to “finish me”, which I think is a bit premature, but the real concern is the relative silence coming from my tribe. Are they… My thoughts are rudely interrupted as you dash forward, screaming—-no fists, no leaps—-just your larger body rushing at me, covering the five feet between us in less than second. You lower your head, and i know there’s no way i can avoid the impending collision. I place my hands out in front of me, hopefully to jam them into your shoulders and slow your attack, but it does little good as your head rams into my stomach, my hands grabbing the tops of your shoulders but really only along for the ride. The impact folds my body over yours—-my feet leave the ground, hands sliding down your bare, sweaty back, my chest pressing against your shoulder blades—-and we travel, for a few feet anyway.
Until you drop to your knees after a bit of a stagger, and as you come to a stop, my body keeps moving, off yours and slams into the sand, on my back, in front of you. I’m stunned and winded, my eyes open, staring at your glistening, toned body kneeling in front of me, ready to attack. yt
