DULUTH – Poignant, compelling, intriguing: these are just a few of the words used by noted pathological liar James Lerman to describe his coworker’s latest short story.
“I can’t believe Tim doesn’t write full-time,” the fibber said, flipping through the ten-page story his coworker had printed out for him in the office break room. “His talents are completely wasted as a market analyst here.”
“The carefully crafted turns of phrase, the lyrical prose, you can really see Tim’s creative writing degree put to good use in this story,” added the man who would have no problem committing perjury.
In a bold and uncharacteristically honest moment, Lerman also mentioned, “Tim should stop writing now, because this is definitely the best thing he’ll ever do.”
