For this week’s prompt, I’d like you to focus your words
around lies or the idea of a lie, whether they’re little ones as I described
above or great big whoppers. It’s no lie that I’m taking both poetry and prose,
fiction and non-fiction, but as always please keep it to one submission per
person and if you chose prose 369 words or fewer.

Weekly Scribblings #19: Lie to Me
Hello Word Artists and Admirers! Earlier this week I was put into a position where I needed
to tell a little white lie. People I knew were feeling very sentimental about a
topic, and although I didn’t feel the same way (in fact, quite the opposite) I
still made sure to make polite comments on the topic.

Just before I took the photos this morning, I had another fall on the gravel. I was worried that I had broken the camera, but it took a photo of the gravel from ground level! Now I have a sprained ankle, a painful hip, and a bad case of embarrassment, as I was still in my pyjamas!

DeleteOh no! Goodness, the lengths we will go to for our art. I hope the bumps, bruises, and assorted pains don't linger.
DeleteOh no...hope you heal quick!
