This short story was written for a competition when I was in year 9; we were given the theme of a lie to base our stories on. My entry came 1st place for my year group so I thought I'd share it with you. This was written around the same time as I started my novel so my writing style here is similar to the one I'm currently using. It follows the thoughts of a woman in old age as she decides to confess what she never told her best friend.
