June Topic - "Boy That's A Lie!"

In the original spirit of Mark Twain's beloved characters Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, write a lie. A fib, a stretch of the truth. A tall tale, an innocent enough invention of story standing in for the real thing...for what harm could a little self-serving anecdote do? Write the lie in a first person narrative like Huck did in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The character is your entire creation, same with the scenario in which the character finds him/herself needing to fib.

*Just so everyone understands, you don't have to write in the style of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, or use that time period...etc. I was just inspired by that book to have a topic featuring a lie.
