Luis, Leonardo, and Lucas are three friends who meet in a little town, they became great friends and played together while growing up, and after some years they started to get interested in more adult-like stuff, but they weren't into some R18 stuff, no they began to investigate ghosts and supernatural stuff, it started when Lucas got into some trouble with a weird mirror.
After some adventures Luis was bragging to the guys at school and they asked for the stories, when Luis told the tale, Leonardo was coming and he continued, the people were intrigued and into the story so much they didn't hear when Lucas came in and took the baton pass to finish the story, but Lucas embellished the tale with a little lie, the people didn't catch it, but his two friends did.
Luis was angry at Lucas because of the Lie, but Leonardo said: "It doesn't matter, we know the truth and we can say whatever we want"
Luis still angry responded: "It doesn't matter if we can say anything, the stories are already cool enough, and we don't need that"
Lucas laughing said "Well, we could always ask them to identify the lie, it could be a game"
Leo and Luis opened their eyes a lot and kept silent, Lucas was bewildered by their actions.
Luis was the first to talk. "That could work"
Leo was excited "Dude, we could each tell a Lie, today's tale was amazing in parts, and we can separate the story into the 3 steps the teacher told us. Approach, development, conclusion"
Luis smiled and said "Yeah, let's plan it"
After that they told their adventures to the school people, the teachers put them into some story contest, and when they graduated middle school and went into high school, their tales were famous, and a year went by.
After that year they started to put on a show each Saturday in the main square.
The rules were:
Everyone must pay $5 MXN (a quarter), to hear the story. No one can interrupt the tale to ask for the lie. You can guess a lie from one of them or the three lies simultaneously. The person who guesses one lie will get 1/5 of the prize money. The person who guesses the 3 lies correctly will get the full prize money. There are only 10 guesses per day.
They captivate the attention of the people who come to hear them. Soon the people grew, from only 20 listeners to 50, until more than a hundred people came every week.
One day a reporter from a big newspaper came to see the show.
Luis started the Tale of this week like this:
Last Wednesday we went to the abandoned hospital in the town, we wanted to confirm the presence of the cursed nurse, the history unfolded that a nurse went crazy after watching all the experiments from one of the Doctors as he wanted to find the cure for many strange diseases, with weird remedy and dark practice, he used to open holes in the skull of living patients, eat brain flesh with a disease that he thought it would cancel their own, put cables and shock the muscles, took and transplant animal organs into the patients, and weirdly he found more than one cure with his strange practice, but this nurse, she saw too much, on her madness she murdered the doctor, with tears falling from her, cause one of the experiments that went wrong was on his little kid, she was sentenced to death, and ever since any "new" medicine that arrived to the hospital was unexplainedly destroyed by the spirit of the nurse, so the progress never came to the hospital and soon it was closed…
After he ended the phrase Leonardo stood up and continued:
We went into the second, third and four floor, waiting to see the ghost of the nurse, but she never appear in front of us, we already knew we couldn't see her like that, so we prepared something, we grabbed a death frog and we would try to revive it in the surgery room, we started the operation, giving the frog a Taser shock with some cables, as soon as we did it, the tables trembled and the things that were laying there float into the air and the three of us went into full panic, it was really happening, we look into each other with a great smile, but when we saw the bistoury pointing at us, we froze in fear, in the amidst of that, the frog vibrate and with a sudden movement it float in air, it raised an arm and the shadow of the nurse appeared behind it, looking at us from above, a guttural creepy voice order us to leave the place, without a second though we ran past the room and looked for the exit of the hospital, but as we were running the doors closed and we came trapped, we looked back and the hospital robes were floating, giving form into the patients that were treated by that doctor, and they became visible, all the experiments the doctor made on them were showing in front of us, the souls of those people were broken, they looked at us with resentment, the frog-nurse appeared from the corner behind us and we ran past the sea of spirits.
Leonardo sat down, and Lucas continued the history, he made a pause to check on the public, the excitement in their eyes, care, fear filled the people with enthusiasm, after looking at them, he felt complete, those emotions made him feel full, then he cross a look with the reporter and that intrigued him, he was watching them with no emotion, and curiosity, either way, Lucas opened his mouth while he finished the history:
We arrived at a secret room in our escape run, the room was cold and dark, weird instruments were hanging in the ceiling, strange colored substances were on bags and ripped fabric inside the room, and our blood froze a little, acting fast we raided the room looking for any advice that would help us to get out of this mess, Luis found the doctor memo, and we saw the methods written, they were amazingly terrible, but the explaining and science behind them was amazing, Luis took the notes and we planned the escape, maybe letting the nurse rest in peace would be the better, but the patients helping her would be hard, Leo found inside one locker a flask of salt, we three smiled, the salt is used for repelling spirits, everyone took some and we ran to the exit again, every time a ghost appears in front of us we salted them, when we got to the door it was locked but we salted it too and it opened, we ran far from the place with fear to come back… END
People hold their breath; would they be able to guess right some Lies from the three friends?
- Please think of yourself too, which seems like a Lie to you. -
The first to guess was a twelve years old kid, "One of the Lies is that you saw a Ghost"
The three fellas laughed a little and denied it.
The second guess was from an old lady, "One of the Lies is that the spirit possessed the frog"
The three friends denied it.
The third guess was their regular Young boy, "Luis, your Lie was that the son of the nurse was killed, Leonardo your Lie was to shock the frog to see the spirit, and Lucas your Lie was to find the memo of the Doctor"
Luis moved his head, Leonardo laughed as he denied it, and Lucas stood up and showed the people the note of the doctor, everyone was impressed and started to clap, the three boys won again, maybe the skeptic of the people helped them that the histories were a total success.
But then the reporter raised his hand and made his move.
..............Author notes...........
Make a guess too, tomorrow (Or at 5 comments) I will post the conclusion.
