Choking on Lies
Folder:
Prose/Short Stories Some lies can be downright suffocating. The air around you can become so thin that your very core is gasping for breath. You feel like your lungs are imploding. And there’s nothing you can do but hope over time you’ll be able to ingest it.

On the other hand, the truth hidden behind the lie was just as frightening.
Sometimes I'm not sure which is harder to swallow: the lie or the truth.
