ultimate choice

Description

An ultimate choice is nothing more than torture that binds both your hands and demands one be offered. Humanity calls it a ‘decision’ when no matter which path you take, regret is the only outcome. We parade our free will, only to choose the road to our own suffering. The weight of a decision squeezes the soul as surely as the answer itself.
