“Leave me, just for a bit.” When the doctor had gone: “I picked up the pillow and smothered him until he was dead. The doctor came back and I said: ‘He’s gone.’ Nothing more was ever said.”
Ray Gosling described how he euthanized his lover who was dying from AIDS. He has since been arrested on suspicion of murder.

On another note, this is one of those drawings that I would love to see animated.
