Daily Drabble – Decision

It was one of those moments when he knew whatever decision he made could affect the entirety of the rest of his life.
This was it.
There was no way to avoid making a choice and no way to prevent the cascading consequences reaching down through the years ahead. He could be losing a chance at a lifetime of happiness or maybe committing to the first step of something that was doomed to fail.
For a moment that awareness paralysed him completely. Even his thoughts. Then he looked at the screen in front of him and carefully swiped the picture.
