Re: license, hell
Wasn't there a story within the last year or so, involving a large cat of some type, that reverses this?
The story went that the cat pulled down and mauled the slower person, but was distracted by the still fleeing person, so interrupted its attack on the already brought-down person, and went after the still fleeing one. This person was caught up to and killed, while the person first attacked was able to get up and leave - and hence survived - while the 2nd victim, the faster one, was being killed.
