A Matter of Conscience
As much of the world struggles to deal with this tragic pandemic engulfing its inhabitants, I would like to dedicate this work to those countless, courageous, unsung heroes who daily put their life at risk to protect us.
DILEMMA
Sometimes decisions are easy to make; the options are so disparate that they require no consideration. The best choice becomes the only choice.
