The Lady or the Tiger Ending

"Every heart stopped beating, every breath was held, every eye was fixed immovably upon that man.  Without the slightest hesitation, he went to the door on the right, and opened it."  At that very moment, the sun's light shone onto what lay inside of that door, the orange and black stripes of the ferocious beast that paced restlessly within the cage were revealed to the crowd.  As all of the on watchers gasped in misbelief, the man stepped surprisingly calmly back into the large amphitheater, turned his gaze back to the princess's tear streaked, grief filled face, and acknowledged her with a slight nod.  The man didn't show any happiness or anger with the princess's decision.  After that quick moment, he faced the deadly tiger that was staring him down, and then it was all over.  As the gruesome scene continued below, the princess's despair filled wail was heard all throughout the kingdom, she was drowned with sorrow as she was forced to witness her lover meet his fate below her.  The princess would never have the ability to rid this scene from her memory.
