Written for the first "Eye Spy" Challenge for both the Stargate Drabbles and the Stargate Legends groups on Yahoo in May '09, and is a companion piece to "T is for Thanks" as the first prompt was, I kid you not, a loaded syringe... literally posted a day after I finished "T is for Thanks" and posted it. I couldn't not do this one.

Janet sat the loaded syringe down on the silver tray, filled with a lethal dose of potassium chloride.

The inhumanity to make him suffer; the mercy to let him go quickly.

She stared at the clear liquid. "I can't do this," she whispered to herself. "I just can't." She picked up the method of euthanasia, slid the needle into the glass vial, and sank the plunger. "There has to be another way." The empty syringe found itself dumped in the sharps bin and the good doctor returned to her patient, determined to keep him alive as long as she could.
