A Firefly's Lie #1: the grave digger

"And finally when the grave digger have found a treasure. He realized, it wasn't his. He climbed out of his grave and hanged himself on a nearby tree."

"That's a lie, right?"

"That is a lie. He climbed out of the grave he was digging. It was dawn. And around him were traces of where he had dug.

"He stood the shovel on the ground beside the grave he just dug. Beneath a nearby tree, his friends awaits him. What happens next?"

"They tell him to start another adventure them?"

"They were dead bodies that needed to be buried. And the treasure he found, a fruit of his betrayal."

"That's a lie."

"That is a lie. One of his friend complained to him that it took a while for him to return. Another asked how he was and if he was doing alright. And another asked if he wanted to go to more adventure with them.

"He stood silent and collected himself. He was tired afterall the digging he just did. After he regained himself he told them, 'I'm tired. I want to go home now.' And he collapsed. His friends caught him as he slept smiling."

"What happened next?"

"You wanted more lies? But who does not, right?

"It was all a wishful dream, the grave digger didn't got out of the grave he dug. He found a treasure but it was too deep for him to ever climb out. He tried and tried but he couldn't get out. His reach fell to short, his body felt heavier and his breathing was harder. He was tired and without hope."

"In this lie, once more he died?"

"His friend one by one, suddenly jumped in with him and started digging."

"Was it to save him? Was it for the treasure?"

"If I say it's a mass burial, you won't believe me?"

"That's a lie."

"One of his friends went to check on him, another started digging and another one pocketed the treasure the grave digger just got.

"And on top of the grave, a girl shouted, 'he's mine.' "

"Another lie?"

"It was the girl he had a promise with."

" 'he's mine?' "

"Is it the treasure or is it the grave digger?"
