#WritcoStoryPrompt12
The old woman was near death. I could hear her try to draw in painful gasps of breath. I felt helpless as a doctor in this remote part of the world. Was there nothing I could do? as a doctor if she dies it's my fault I had to do something but she kept on telling me that I should let her die because she's in pain and she can't go back to that horrible place. I had to do it knowing that I'll live with the guilt all my life especially when her family asks me about her. she was putting me in a lot of pressure but I had to do it just for her to find peace.
