Speak of evil, and you summon it.
I crouch hidden among the boulders, my body broken and bloodied. Below me, someone is about to murder my best friend, the one person who understands me. If I act, I will likely lose my own life. If I don't, I'll lose so much more...
Maybe a large, single dose of pain now is better than the slow, burning pain of withering hope.
