Challenge
Prompt Time!
Let's have some fun! I will give a prompt and you guys do something deep with it! Make me say 'holy shit that's good'. You have 75 words to blow me away. Winner will be chosen by yours truly.
Here's the prompt:
Humans are cursed where every lie they tell creates a scar on their body. The bigger the lie, the bigger the scar.
Lie
I drop my head, lowering my eyes as Zander moves closer.
His smell of cold metal and rain and secret hide-aways haunts me. A scar traces the path of a long forgotten tear, from the corner of his eye to the edge of his jaw.
"Please, Adora, you don't have to do this; let someone else," he pleads.
"I'm not scared." I pray he cannot see the red-hot scar tightening around my neck.
