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!
Her eyes look at me
They dance in beautiful silence
Tracking me
Everything I do
This beautiful creation is not my own
How can I tell her that I am not her father?
How can I tell her that mama’s a cheater?
How can I be a single dad
To this beautiful girl?
“Mama’s coming home soon,” I say.
“Love you, sweetie.”
“Love you too, Daddy!”
At least one thing I said
Was the truth
I do love her
My feelings shoot through the roof
Eventually she will ask questions
Why I am so different in looks
Why Mama never came back
Why I lied
Eventually those questions will haunt us
But for now,
Love.
