David
and Bob are two close friends who go mountain climbing
every summer. This particular summer, they are attempting
to climb the Fortress, a mountain in Canada. They
attempt to do this twice, because on the first try,
they fail. Their second attempt was more successful
than the first one. However, while climbing, Bob slips
and loses his balance. David, the trustworthy friend
that he is, comes to the rescue. In doing so, however,
David’s footholds actually break and he suffers a
fall of 50 feet. This fall cripples him for life and
he has a tough decision to make. In the end, he asks
Bob to push him over the edge. He would rather die
than have to live a life being a burden to his family.
On top of that, he would not want to live his life
in a wheel chair and not be able to be physically
active. Bob decides to grant David’s request, knowing
his friend well enough to know that he would be unhappy
for the rest of his life if he were to live. The End.
