OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST 2023 ENTRY

I was staring out of the hospital window. The painkillers didn't work anymore, and I could tell my time was almost off. The coin in my hand got wet from the sweat because I was a nervous wreck. 
What should I do? What choice should I make? The one that will hurt everyone, including me, but it's probably destiny or the one that will solve this life/death situation for good. Should I just let it all disappear? My life wasn't easy, but it was mine, and I didn't want any other one. 
But... do I want to die? Do I want to hurt the people who love me the most? Do I want to break my first love's heart? Of course, I don't. But I also don't want to be the one who decides this. It's too hard, and I don't have time. This might be the hardest thing that anyone had ever done. 
So... what is it going to be? Die like me? Or live like somebody else?
