Well done. This situation is like trying to balance everything on a single gossamer filament of silk. Now it's time for a good cry in the shower.

Wow, powerful. I thought it was really well-done and touching. I loved how you talked of the lessons he'd taught him in school and how he was applying them to his life and the 'problem' they faced. Despite the feeling I wanted to have toward someone cheating on their husband while he's dying, I sensed love in the decision in the end. He would do what he had to, but not in a way that would hurt the man he loved. Afterall, I'm sure the professor wasn't made stupid b/c he had cancer. Great piece.

One of the more powerful stories I've read, Pilot. :) A lot of emotion in a short amount of wordage.
