Submitted by Quill To Page
Write a story where people are limited to only three lies in their lifetime.
Is your protagonist about to use up their first, or maybe their last?
A Thousand Lies
I’m buying lies! The best deal ever!
I give my life to have a thousand lies
instead of three!
I want them all for me.
Half-lies and guilty ones,
Cruel lies and clear-white ones,
Casual lies, murderous ones,
Your lies: “I’m sorry!” and “For ever!”.
I’m buying lies! Best price, best deal!
I’ll spend my time collecting all the lies
instead of three!
I need them all for me.
Bad lies and perfect ones,
Sweet lies and social ones,
Resentful lies, terrible ones,
Your lies: “I love you!” and “It’s real!”
I’m buying lies, I’m giving all of me!
A thousand lies and still won’t be enough
To tell myself that I am free…
