When he has to make a split-second choice, he makes the wrong one, with tragic results. When the consequences seem unbearable, he is faced with a surprising new decision, one that could erase his wrong. But nothing comes without a price. A dark and emotional tale from Ruth Anna Evans, author of No One Can Help Tales of Lost Children and Other Nightmares, this 6,000-word short story hits hard from beginning to end.
