"I....." I falter and look at my best friends tear filled eyes.
"Just shoot me already Judy! I can't handle this life anymore!" He says impatiently and puts one of his hand upon my hand that lays on the trigger.
"I can't do this to you," I say through my tears, "You have so much of a life to live"
My best friend of eleven years has the brainum crazum. It makes your head ache and your stomach twist. You start to see things that are not real and every second he tries to hold on to reality but his grip has faltered and he wants to end his life because of it. This virus will slowly eat away at his brain, but if somehow I could get him to the AWFUL safe houses, they might be able to cure him. Right? They probably have a plan for this, an antidote, right?
"Please" He chokes out, "End it all, they will still be in my skill tomato and they'll crawl my skin and eat it all!"
No, I can't do this. We will find the cure! We have to, for him, Carem, he needs to live. I quickly move my fingers to put the safety on the gun, then I throw it behind me and into the brick wall. Carem cries out in agony. I look at his disfigured body on the floor, he rocking back and forth in a state of panic.
"Judy....Judy...." He says quietly, he repeats my name over and over, then he says, "I won't live through this apocalypse, kill me somehow"
I fall on top of him and grasp his face. Both of us are crying now, our cries ringing loud throughout the abandoned building.
