Iron Fic 3-5: The Lies People Tell
People lie all the time. We lie to hide the truth, to reassure others and to entertain ourselves. Lies don't always have to be badùwhat's the harm in letting someone believe a happy lie?
Well, it's up to you. Your challenge this week is to write a story about the lies liars tell. What is the nature and purpose of the lie? Is it believed, and what are its repercussions? Does the liar get away with it, and does s/he/it regret the lie later? Does the lie come back at an inopportune moment?
This is an easy theme, and can work well with any genre. No more excuses!
