I'm currently write a first story of a separate series, that includes gore. And I'm stuck between two choices of it's ending, so I need your help with it.
Short synopsis: dark, relatively near future, monthly show on government TV, broadcasting tortures and executions of a criminals, and two innocent friends, that almost accidentally was sentenced to be executed on this show.
This one first story will be gentle and porn-related (and even non-gore, if you will vote to spare the characters)
So, your choice is simple - should I:
a) keep them down-and-out, and mentally scarred, but alive
b) execute them for crowd enjoyment
Comment, what you think, or just type "a" or "b" in the comments down below. I will count all votes approximately in the end of the february, hopefully story will be almost ready by that time.
Thank you, and hoping for your feedback)

Update:
I received quite big commission, so this story, along with vote counting (if any), are postponed for a several months.
Oh, and if no one votes, I'll just kill the characters - it's dark series, after all)
