The seven-headed monster
A Swahili proverb says a lie has seven endings. Write seven endings to a lie you (or your character) told. Prose, please.
Lie Plus Seven
A lie has 7 ending
Or so the story is told
So let's tell a little lie and see how far it goes.
I lied and said my sister was sick
But really she went on a date.
When her husband brought her
Soup home, lie one was a mistake
Being sick as the lie was told
Bought a lot of family to visit.
The look on their faces because of my lie, you wouldn't want to miss it
My sister had to move with me
Because her husband kicked her out
The guy on the date was her husband's best friend so he punched him in the mouth.
The fifth ending was losing her job, because her husband was her boss.
The sixth ending cost me because
She was truly depressed.
The seventh ending was getting a plan to clean up all of this mess.
