RE: STACH Short Story Contest #27: 199 words, 5 winners, 15SB prize pool!

in #contest7 years ago

My parents had saved up for over a year just to raise money for me to travel out of my home town and seek opportunities in the big city. I stood by the road side with my luggage when a man with an expensive car parked right in front of me. He offered to give me a ride,Reluctantly I agreed because he was traveling to the same city and it would help me save the money I had reserved for transportation… few hours had passed and we were already chatting like we had known each other for years… what's your story? He asked… I told him my parents died and my family took over their property and ever since I have been struggling with life. I told this pathetic lie just for me to be pitied and for him to offer some help because I sensed he was really rich. He offered me a place at his house till I got settled and when we got there I got the shock of my life… my distant aunt happens to be his wife…Don't ever lie about your situation but “if you have to lie, Be brief”... He said.
