RE: STACH Short Story Contest #27: 199 words, 5 winners, 15SB prize pool!
If you must lie, be brief.
"María, I swear, she's just a friend." Jose told his wife because he got it in a loving act with Juana who is his secretary and lover. The relationship between Jose and María was full of experiences, good and bad but it surpassed anything. His marriage of 15 years was strong, although months ago it was falling apart because they did not spend time together.
Maria entered the house without warning and got them kissing. Jose began to explain, "She's just a co-worker, she's working on the details of the engineering project." His wife already knew everything, she was aware of what was happening between them, it was enough to see them together for a few minutes to figure out what they were hiding. María molesta says to her: "If you're going to lie, be brief." Save your empty words, do not be insensitive and inhuman, at least give me a reason not to hate you, repentant Jose says: "I'm an idiot. I betrayed our marriage for a moment of pleasure. You have the right to kill me if you wish, and I do not deserve to live if you are not by my side.
This story is pretty good. It happens a lot in our daily life. It has not happened to me and hopefully I will never touch that kind of betrayal. Good luck in the contest. Regards!
Greetings @rogers thanks for commenting.
I hope you do not touch go through that situation is very difficult :(
Hahaha I hope it never happens to me. Although sometimes it is better to live the experiences to mature even better, in our journey through this life.
You're right.
I had to live a similar experience. Because of that I ended up raising my children alone, her father cheated on me. The positive thing is that my children grew up and thank God they never missed anything. @apoyolatino
Good to know you were capable of that. Women like you deserve infinite respect. Thanks for comment!
Man as a human being has shortcomings. Hopefully within his defects there was no betrayal. It is a bad habit that is made stronger over the years.
So is. Unfortunately this society improves in some things but continues badly in others.
Lies come and go like everything in life. It's unfortunate but that's the way it is.
I have always liked this phrase "Even if lies have legs, sooner or later they limp.
I've heard that phrase before. I think it's used by a rapper or not?
That phrase says a lot. @jacksonaf
Your story identifies me I'm not sure but I think we all went through that moment at least once in our lives.
So is. Do we ever have to face reality
José got into a strong problem haha. Great story
