A short story about a boy named truth
It was fathers idea to name me Truth,he passed away when I was three years old.I asked my mother why I was named such,I get only waved hands shooing me away as if I were some bothersome fly buzzing annoyance.So its no surprise when I mentioned my encounter with the angel that I was told to stop making up stories,and good boys don,t tell fibs.I always tell the truth,to do otherwise would go against myself,and I heard or read somewhere that a house divided against its self cannot stand,well I have strong legs thank you.The angel told me that my mother was sick but she didnt know it and if she didnt get well soon that things would change for me and it was important that they remain so I could develop to become. What he meant he would not say only that there are many of us chosen by God to complete missions that God has applied to each of us,that,s why I lied.It was the very first lie I can say I ever told,I told my mother my stomach hurt ,when she touched me I would scream,and I was soon at the hospital emergency room.The doctor came and said he would like to xray me,I again lied for the second time and told him I was afraid ,but only if my mother also got x-rayed first then I would also then I would scream and hold my stomach.The doctor came back with a e
large envelope in his hand. "Doctor,how is he"? my mother asked "the boy,hes fine ,but mam,m,I have some bad news".Mother got better after the chemo,and today people call me pastor.
