For just a split second I saw his eyes recede and the flesh melt from his head in a sharp burst of fire, I smelled burnt meat and heard maggots writhing in what little of him would remain.
And then I let him go to face that future.
I always let them go - I have to. If they try to avoid their future then it only gets worse and a simple heart attack becomes a 9 car pileup followed by eighteen months in a hospital, unable to make a single sound or move an inch while every organ gradually shuts down as death crawls ever closer.
Just a random example.
This one hurt worse then the usual though, this one hit close to home because I knew it'd be the last time I'd ever get walk him to the school bus. They aren't going to find him for months and I can't see where he'll go or try to interfere because it'll only become so much worse - it always becomes so much worse and he deserves a quicker death than that.
They all do but for once I didn't argue with him and let him sit at the front of the bus.
It's more than I should have done but hopefully not enough to alter his future too much.
Just to quicken it a little, that's all.
