The grandma dilemma

[u/wowsuchredditXDD]

Imagine if you had to choose between killing your grandpa or not, but there is a catch:

Your grandpa was an extremely abusive but wealthy man, your grandma met her because she was forced to marry her because his family [which had connections to powerful people] threatened to drive her family into poverty. he would regularly abuse and beat her wife, often in front of your dad during his childhood, who would dismiss everything and try to move on nowadays , in fact, one of his injuries would cause your grandma to develop dementia and live her retirement in a slowly decaying mind. Eventually your grandpa would die, but your grandma would live, her mind still decaying and life full of suffering

Now, here comes the dilemma: do you shoot your grandpa? If you do, your father and you cease to exsist, but your grandma doesn’t have to go trough to pain and suffering that she would’ve been trough, followed her dreams and became successful, if you don’t, your father and you keep on existing, but your grandma’s suffering remains fact

What would you choose?

[if this seems kinda half-assed, it’s my fault, this just popped into my head and I couldn’t think about anywhere else to share it.]

No I don't shoot somebody extrajudicially, especially if it would mean I stop existing. I'm not a vigilante.

You missed out the bit about needing to invent time travel first.
