Challenge #3

[shivver]

Write a scene with person A and person B (or more, if you like), with the point-of-view in third person and the perspective either neutral (the narrator does not know either person's thoughts) or biased towards person A (though without writing person A's direct thoughts like "she thought, "Wow, this guy is weird").

The thing is, person B is lying - about one thing, or maybe a few things, or maybe everything he says; that's up to you - but the reader doesn't know he is. Be descriptive about person B - things he does, tone of voice, phrasing, etc. - to clue in the reader and/or person A to the deception, or to convince the reader/person A he's truthful - again, your choice.

Some ideas:

• The Doctor is telling the companion that something is perfectly safe when it actually isn't.
  
• A woman is telling her date that she's having a good time when she actually isn't.
  
• Person A asked Person B what he has behind his back, and Person B says, "Nothing!" as he drops the item into the potted plant behind him.
  
• River is trying to bluff her way past a security guard.
