Let's Have a Bit of Drama for that Last Sentence!

It's time for you to get dramatic with that short story. You can make your work as long or as short as you want, and you can put in as many characters as you please. You only need to use the following as your final sentence:

“No: it wasn't the right thing to do, but it was the only thing that mattered.”

So, are you going to examine characters and their motivations for a dastardly deed, or are you going to go the literary fiction route and put in some meditative prose? It's all up to you! Just add your story to the comments, or give readers a link to it so that they can see how well you've built your story up to the last words.

Good luck, and happy writing!
