A decision
As I'm watching the news I realize that the new law from the new government states that the wife or husband must kill one of their children to complete the legal marriage. Otherwise, the government will come and kill all of the children.
I look at the written words, absurd and obscure unable to grasp that this is done in our country. Unable to grasp that I and my wife will have to do this ritual. I cried immensely just thinking of it and knew that their was no way out of this. I have to have children, otherwise us, couples, will be tortured by the government and will get everything taken away. People have experienced this and it's been all over the news. I have to be married or else the government will force me to hang myself.
I have one choice. My successful child who managed to open a business at such an early age, a child who is currently 10 years old already in college with a great scholarship, and my infant who will laugh at anything and is making poor progress in his potty training.
I'm in shock even thinking about my options, I love them all dearly, but their is certainly no way out of this. I don't know who to choose. This horrible society that has accepted this, and voted for the government to established this absurd ritual, the new way to be legally married just doesn't make sense at all. It's unexplainable that even the people who work for the government aagree to this law and job to kill if people disobey.
After long hours of thinking the answer finally came to me,I felt it. I knew who I would be choosing, and finally came to a decision. It is the one who yet stupid to be born in the disastrous place but wanting to leave the life of oneself.
