Evil Headgames
Sep. 26th, 2022 08:49 amOne of the most horrible headgames a villain could inflict on a hero is as follows:
The villain captures two of the hero's loved ones. He says to the hero, "Normally I'd just kill both of them in front of you, but today I'm feeling generous. I'll spare one of them if you tell me which one to spare. But if you don't choose, I'll rescind my offer, and kill both of them."
The hero hesitates, of course.
"Choose!" the villain says. "It will be YOUR FAULT if both of them die!"
So the hero reluctantly chooses which one to spare.
And the villain spares the other one.
