I'd been sent there by the magazine to do a story on Zack Hugh...
On him, and the unforgiving race which had claimed so many mens' lives...
Death Circus.
For ten years, one man had reigned as it's champion... Zack Hugh.
Many admired him for the control he had over the machine he drove...
Total. Absolute. Without any fear of death.
Zack the Reaper... The Phoenix... He'd been given many such names. But...
Ground clearance: Unstable.

We're reading a loss in retinal response.
The races had taken their toll on the man.
The constant stress was too much; It was destroying him, in both body and mind...
He's past his limit! That machine's shaking him to pieces!
It's no good. Pull him out!
Chief, he isn't slowing down!
What?!
What in God's name...?!
Chief!
Come on!
He crossed the finish line, and the machine's engines revved up for more.
The race was over, but the running man was still running...
Zack Hugh... A champion among champions.
To this day, his death remains shrouded in mystery.
