Try and "accidentally" stumble while shoving Marie towards the projecting needle of rock

From Create Your Own Story

As you enter the cave, you throw your body sideways, causing Marie to lurch into the wall. Your aim was perfect! Marie's carotid artery is ripped open by the projecting spur. She instantly collapses onto the floor of the cave, bleeding out all over the rocks.

"Holy Toledo!" you gasp, in shock at the amount of blood gushing out. "Marie..."

"It's... okay... Zach..." she gurgles. You reach down and gently close her eyes as she expires.

You manage to avoid slipping on the bloody rocks as you egress the cave. Within moments, the announcer and several TV crews are standing next to you.

"The winner of Battle Royale, Zach Brach!" booms the announcer's voice as he thrusts a microphone into your face. "And the least likely candidate of all. Zach, how did you do it?"

"Marie played fair," you say. "After there were just the two of us left, she could have killed me while I was under the soporific influence of the chemicals in the cave, but she woke me up to let me know it was just us two. Then she gave me a chance to recover from the chemicals instead of killing me while I was still incapacitiated. I owe my life to her sense of fair play."

"You only got one kill," the announcer continues. "Do you feel you did things rather the easy way?"

"I certainly didn't intend to sleep away the competition," you reply. "I never would have entered that cave if I had known what was in it."

"Did you genuinely lose your balance, or was that an intentional move at the end?" is the next question the announcer poses.

"Oh, that was on purpose," you grin. "As much as I didn't want to kill Marie, it was that or have her kill me. I wish there would have been some way to declare us co-champions."

"And there you have it!" the announcer concludes. "Tune in next year at a new location for the second edition of Battle Royale!"

You stand still as the TV crews leave, unsure of what to do next. A man appears by your elbow. "I'm the sponsor," he explains. "My name is unimportant. Here's your check for $200,000. Let's get you home." He removes the collar from around your neck.

The next day, a very pretty, blonde, smiling 18-year-old knocks on your door. "Hi," she says. "I'm Marie's cousin, Sandra. I heard all the nice things you said about her, as I was watching the whole time." She gestures to her car. "Why don't you come over and stay at my house for a while?"

Under Sandra's "therapy", you soon forget you were ever a part of Battle Royale...
