Fortunate Liars



By D.J.Granger



Gold for sale. It's cheap. How about a diamond for your wife? She'll love you for the rest of your life.

"Yesterday I sold two or three."
"Of what?"
"It doesn't matter. Now we can eat."
"And tomorrow and the next day?"

Bow your head in prayer. God is all you need. Praise the heavens above. Fall down to your knees.

"What happened to your eye?"
"It's fine, I can see."
"You've been out all day selling again?"
"It'll be worth it, one day you'll see."

It's like a mirror, but if you break it you won't get seven years bad luck. Buy one and get the other free.

"Look at yourself, you've run yourself ragged."
"It's a matter of survival."
"And it's going to kill you."
"But it's the only thing that will save us."

Aphrodisiacs, formulas one, four, and five. Just a teaspoon will do. Don't over do it. Save some for a rainy day.

"You're really leaving?"
"Just for a little while."
"You'll come back, right?"
"Ofcourse."

Never forget. Take control of your time. Don't waste a minute. Old memories are just as important as new ones. Buy a calender, then a clock, then a diary.

"She left me."
"A month has passed?"
"It's happened before."
"She'll be back then."

Whatever you wear, wear it well, and if I were you I'd bundle up. It's not cold now, but it will be.

"I ate well last night."
"You look it."
"I feel it."
"Supper for one is easy."

Rest assured. Insure yourself against a potential loss. Don't think about the cost, think about the loss.

"I'm not lying."
"I know."
"But you stare at me in disbelief."
"I know."

Don't be bound by a book bereft of its bind. The story is coehesive enough for you to read if you're willing.

"I've sold enough to leave."
"To go where?"
"Someplace new."
"There is only one new place."

In this bag I have all the wonders of the world. No charge, it's all yours free. No catch, reach in and see.
