Does doing a good thing sometimes mean being evil? [Flash Fiction]

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted flash fiction, but when I saw the prompt from Chuck Wendig for this week, I couldn’t resist.

This one is in the speculative vein of my next book, Banquet, but is a lot less space opera than the book. Chuck wanted us to use either of these themes:

1. Doing a good thing sometimes means being evil.

2. The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.

I hope I managed to hit at least one of them with this short tale.
