It was with a heavy heart that I applied for my killing permit. Rather than mailing a request in, I travelled to the government building to avoid the six-week waiting period. In my backpack I had a folder with all the information on my victim. What our relationship was, why I wanted him dead, the consequences to society if he was killed, all the pertinent information. 
 
 `` It seems you have all your paperwork in order,'' the man behind the desk said as he rifled through it. `` How are you planning to kill him? Will it be a disturbance to your neighbors?'' 
 
 `` No sir, simple drug overdose. He wo n't even make a sound.'' 
 
 `` Mm, perfect. Let me check your criminal record quickly...'' 
 
 He would n't find anything. I had lived a model life until this point. Not even a speeding ticket. 
 
 `` Very well.'' He signed a piece of paper and handed it to me. `` This is your permit, it only applies for the one man, for the duration of this week. When coroners come to pick up the body, give them this.'' 
 
 I thanked the man and left, travelling the several hours back to my home. Even before I opened the door, I heard the constant sound of machines. As I scaled the steps to the second floor, the sound got louder. I opened the door with all of the instruments and walked up to the man they were hooked up to. He opened his eyes weakly and looked towards me. 
 
 `` Hey, Dad,'' I said softly. `` I got permission.''
