STORY STARTER

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…
