STACH Short Story Contest #27: IF YOU MUST LIE, BE BRIEF.

Rosa's mother asked him to take the car to the workshop to check the brakes, when Rosa was on her way to the workshop she met her friends who were on their way to the cinema and she went with them, she called her mother to tell her that it would take a long time since the workshop was full. After seeing the movie, he decided to return to the workshop but it was already closed so to avoid getting into trouble he told his mother they were perfect, they had already fixed them. The next day she receives a call that wakes her up and it was her brother saying "Mama had an accident, she was without brakes and she is hospitalized" Rosa could not contain her guilt and between tears she arrived at the hospital and said to her mother: " Forgive me, I lied to you "His mother asks: What are you talking about? Rosa answered "Do not take the brakes to repair, I went to the movies and when I returned was closed, sorry mom" and her mother told her If you are going to lie that is brief, take that advice "
