The Impossible Choice

During the Christmas celebration, my sworn enemy kidnapped my husband and son.

The thugs placed two tons of TNT explosives underneath them and brazenly broadcast it on the giant screen in Times Square downtown.

"Everyone in the police department says Captain Sarah is the backbone of the bomb disposal unit, saving countless lives!"

"Well, today I'm going to test her. Cut the red wire and your husband dies. Cut the blue wire and your son dies. Which will our expert choose?"

Every citizen understood this was a death trap. No matter which wire I cut, I would become a criminal for all eternity.
