Drabble Challenge #26

Prompt: stop

“I won’t do it.”

“Why not?”

“It’s not ethical.”

“But, as head of this project, you know these calculations and models are accurate. Don’t you feel a moral obligation to enlighten the public?”

“I feel a moral obligation to prevent panic and chaos. You may think it is your moral obligation to dissolve all the world religions with the truth, but think about what that will do. You can handle it, but what about those governed entirely by their religious beliefs?”

“I’m sorry sir, but I feel it is my duty to educate the public and you can‘t stop me.”
