Final Flight: Battle Royale For Birders

Be the one to spot the last of a species and stay alive.

There I was, procrastinating in the janky time machine, idly watching YouTube videos on the console screen. That's when I stumbled across a birding documentary featuring my pal Paul. He's a birder - you know, binoculars, funny hats, punk rock, tattoos, the whole nine yards. This got me thinking - why not take a detour and pop over to an adjacent timeline for a spot of birding in the future? Oh boy, was I in for a wild ride!

So, in this timeline, birding isn't your grandma's Sunday afternoon hobby. Nope, it's a full-on, teeth-gritted, survival of the fittest death sport. The game's simple: be the last one to eyeball a bird before it goes extinct. Oh, and avoid becoming extinct yourself, courtesy of your fellow bird-loving competitors.

It's like a crazy version of the Hunger Games, binoculars in one hand and a weapon of choice in the other. And forget about peaceful bird calls, unless you consider the sound of your heart pounding in your ears a call of nature.
