Smarts

A very close family member, soul partner, or child of yours is dying. There is nothing that can be done to prevent it and the doctors say that they only a few days left to live. You feel broken and beyond depressed. While on your way home, you are stopped by a tall man wearing a coat and hat. You can't see his face because of how dark it is. He knows about your problem and offers a solution. He tells you that all you have to do is take the life from someone who is equal to the person you want to save, and he will heal them. He also says that you have until they die to do it, so time is of the essence. He even offers to give the name and location of the perfect person to kill. The strange man then pulls out a contract, beckoning you to sign it. Do you sign it and kill someone to prevent someone very close to you from dying, or do you refuse and try to accept the loss of this person you cherish dearly? Do you make a deal with the devil, or do you see right through his lies? Edit: Here is my answer. Despite the negatives that could come out of this, I'd do it. Yes, that means I'd kill someone to save the person I love. I don't care about other humans anyway, so their lives are of no importance to me. Losing someone I care deeply for would tear me apart, especially if it were one of my younger brothers. Of course, another family would have to suffer, but unfortunately for them, I couldn't care less. It may seem very selfish, but I refuse to lose the people who bring me the only sense of happiness in my life. The devil can have my soul for all I care, as long as they live.
