Lies into Stories

Sue Allison wrote a theatre piece, "Lies I've told."  Two actors take turns telling each other classic whoppers.    - This will only take a second. - I didn't get your message. - I have no idea how that got here.  - I thought you said the 6th.  - Would I lie to you?

Become a superstar of candor.  Think of the biggest whopper you got away with.  How did you accomplish it?  Embellish it with a twist and write from someone else's viewpoint.  Create a character to observe acting out the situation.

Creative write:  Freewrite in response to the lies listed above.  Play with your fibs to create a story or poem.
