Mermaids Are Poisonous

If you were given a choice:

A: Everything anyone could ever want: a lifetime together with your beloved, mountains of gold and silver, supreme power, and immortality.

B: Lose everything in option A, and be forced to watch your beloved die under a lightning execution, but make the terrible virus disappear forever so humanity can return to normal life.

One choice makes you a god, the other a saint. What would you choose? Here's Mermaid Has Poison for you. I hope you enjoy it.
