Challenge
When is lying in the right?
Tell me, in fiction or non fiction, about a case when lying is the better option. Make it powerful and convincing. Winner decided by me. Best of luck!
Just Hold My Hand
"It's going to be alright."
"Just hold my hand tight."
I ignore all the blood.
I hold back my tears.
Your sister didn't see it.
You didn't see it
The car that came passing
too fast and too soon
How can life be so cruel
to take the spirit from someone
who can't even ride a bike
without your tiny pink wheels
"It's going to be alright."
You cry with pained sobs
pretty brown eyes blotchy
"I want my mommy..."
"Mommy's coming," I say
"She'll be here soon."
"It's going to be alright."
As your hand loosens in mine.
