THE CONSENT: A SHORT STORY

"This one has to go right, Festus" "Yes, it will" I assured. "No complaints this time, with everything I have said about you, you are almost a superstar to this girl" "Are you serious?" "Yes, I might have lied a little... just...just go with the flow" Martha urged me on. It was never a good sign when you don't know the kind of lie she had told, she tended to get carried away with her lies. "Remember, her name is Veronica."
