A Story in 100 Words.

Ben stood over the sliver of a man lying in the hospital bed. He was hooked up to a wall of machines that looked like something from some dystopian movie. This is what remained of the man Ben had spent his life fearing.

He wasn’t there for forgiveness; Ben had a purpose.

This was an easy decision. He had made it when he turned 18. 
“Someday,” he thought.

Doctors said the man wasn’t in pain but couldn’t guarantee it. This suited Ben — he wanted to believe the fucker was in pain.

He decided to wait until tomorrow, just in case.
