Fiction

Oh shit. Another story. Another exaggeration. And somewhere, what really happened has gotten lost in the stories you've been telling me for years. But we're friends, right? Despite our mutual faults? Forgive all, right?

Sorry, kiddo. Just once, tell it to me like it is.

I had a friend who was a pro at exaggerating. I just divided everything he said by ten. "Dude, the party was off the hook. There were 100 people there and we killed 10 kegs." More like 10 people at a sub-par party with one case of beer. Aside from the constant hyperbole, he was a good-hearted fellow.
