The Unrevealed
I’ve been lied to a lot. I’ve been looked in the eye, smiled at, laughed with, and lied to, and honestly it’s a show worth the price of admission. It’s a unique experience to know a factual and provable truth while someone feeds you an alternate one that they invented all on their own. Deceit is not unlike murder, but instead of taking a life you mutilate it. You take what’s real and true and you turn it into a blindfold, you tie it over the person’s eyes, take hold of their hand, and lead their unsure, shuffling steps into a cage doused with the sweetest smells of childhood. However, the fragrant aroma is rendered charmless once the flame from the welder’s torch is ignited to seal the contraption shut. Luckily, for those who fall victim, the blindfold cannot stay tied on indefinitely.
