He said there was no way I'd believe it. He was right. 
 
 A few months ago my friend called me with obvious excitement, exclaiming that in exactly fifty days his life would change forever. He did n't want to spoil the surprise, but ended up spilling the beans. He had been chosen for a test that he said would be either amazing or have life threatening consequences. Becoming bored with his nine to five life, he took the risk knowing that his choice would be permanent. The problem was, it really was a choice and he needed my help in making it. 
 
 We took the two pills, and tried to come up with a way to choose which one he should take. Jokingly he suggested both. We looked at each other, then shook our heads. Clearly those running the experiment would n't let both pills work together... right? We eventually decided not to let our greed get the best of us. A pro/con chart helped, we asked his family, even setup a fake survey on reddit to see what people would pick themselves. Even then we could n't decide. Finally we gave the pills to a third party who would pick which pill he would take at the end of the fifty days, in exchange for any medical help my friend would probably end up needing. 
 
 Well, it's been 60 days now. My friend was kidnapped, I have no idea where he is, and we were... so naive. They have the pills too, and there's nothing I can do to get him or them back. 
 
 Nothing.
