[ WP ] Major prison sentences have become a choice between two pills . One just kills you . The other , well no one knows what that one does ...

`` So you're telling me... nobody knows what the other one does? Not even the guards?'' I say as I look over to my cell mate, waiting him to repeat what he just said. 
 `` Nobody'' Jerry said with an annoyed tone. `` Their ai n't a single man in this building who knows what it does''. Jerry is a hulk of a man, with short brown hair and small eyes. I clearly irritate him, but he has learned to live with it. Both of us had killed people before, Jerry held up a bank and shot 4 people and injured two others while I had been involved in a hit and run. 
 I was clearly bugging him, but I kept on digging for information. 
 `` But what about the people who make it? Surely *they* must know what it does?''. I could n't believe what I was hearing. It just did n't make sense to me. Jerry frowned and turned over on his bed facing away from me. He always does that when I pester him for information. I gave up and continued pondering my impending `` decision''. 
 So it turns out that there is a little known fact about capital punishment that very few know. Capital punishment is a choice. Ever since the government reforms of 2023AD and the Overpopulation Regulations, the government have been handing out capital punishment for most crimes. This has lead to a relatively safer society. Of course there are still people who try their luck, which is why we are here. Every person on death row is given two pills to choose from. One of these pills gives you a quick and relatively painless death. The other pill has only been taken by one person, who freaked out soon after taking it and managed to convince the guard to give them the other pill. Needless to say that ever since people have only wanted to take the pill of death. 
 But I'm going to take the other pill. Today is the day I find out what it does. If I'm going to die here then I want this question answered. 
 The thudding at the cell door tells me its time. I get up and say goodbye to Jerry, who completely ignores me. I think this is his way of coping with me going. I'm going to miss that big guy. 
 The walk to the execution centre feels quicker than it should and we are there within 2 minutes. They have a long list of people being executed, they must be trying to rush this. 
 The guards walk me into the room and close the door behind me. There is nobody in here, but there is a mirror along one of the walls that makes me think that someone is watching me. The only things in the room is a table, and the two pills perched on top. Each pill is labelled either `` A'' or `` B''. Pill A is the death pill which I avoid. I lean over and pick up Pill B, and quickly ingest it. 
 Nothing happens. I wait. I sit on the floor against the wall and I sit. What feels like hours past and I was left uninterrupted. 
 
 That's when I see her. I glance up and see her standing there. She was still wearing the yellow dress. Torn and covered in blood. I see the girl I hit with my car. 
 
 Then I hear her voice in my head. The questions. Why did I leave her on the road? Where are her parents? Where is she now? Her lips do n't move but I can see it in her eyes. I feel the guilt in me rising. I do n't know how much more of this I can take. 
 
 I can not live with this anymore. That's when I make the second decision. The one that I was always supposed to take.
