eek. lie 1 turns into lie 2, lie 2 to lie 3, and you mean them with the best of intentions...(sometimes)

Oh, I adore this. Definitely packs a punch (right to the gut, I believe). This could turn into a chaptered thing if you wanted (and I'm already wondering what Lie #2 is).

This was gorgous. It just hits you *hard.*

Great job.
