[ WP ] `` Truth '' itself as an entity starts pointing out the lies behind everything and everyone around you .

I used to lie compulsively in a daily basis. Not to hide anything. I just did it because I found it easier to lie then simply tell the truth. If I was hiding anything it would be the fact that my faith towards the entire ideology of life was so piffling that I did not have anything left to believe in. But yet I live a normal life. I'm not the type of guy you would normally find as a protagonist of a plot driven story. In fact I am probably not even a side character, I was one of the people you would usually see in the background. I have no virtues, morals or even goals. The future is a blur to me. I do not prepare for the problems that await me in the future. The present is all I have. I am just a boring, lazy fellow with absolutely nothing that stands out. The only character trait that I had was to lie to everyone. I liked deceiving people. It was something I had found myself doing very often. 
 
 I walk into the office and I am greeted by the usual sight of Bob trying to flirt with the front desk attendant Stephany. I just walk over and sat down at my desk. `` Are you done with the report, James?'' The Managing director glanced over at my cubicle inside the quiet office area. `` You know it is due today, right?'' I leaned backwards on my chair and replied. `` Yeah, I finished it yesterday!'' The manager gave me a look of suspicion. `` If you have finished it, bring it to my desk before 4pm'' He said as he left still carrying an aura of suspicion towards my reply. I sighed and I looked at the noticeboard. There were a couple of small memos and notices and a picture of Denice, the employee of the month. Then I saw a poster looking for humanitarian volunteers to help the Red Cross. I was never interested in justice, or carrying out humanitarian acts. I was just a man who was satisfied with the boring life that I had, and I do n't want anything less or more than what I have here now. I took a deep breath and quickly started tapping away at the computer to finish the report. 
 
 I woke up the next day with a slight migraine. I looked over to see if Tracy was still in bed, and found myself to be the only one in bed. It was 7AM and I trotted over to the kitchen to see what Tracy made for breakfast this morning. Sure enough I was greeted with the smell of pancakes. `` Smells delicious Tracy! I love your pancakes!'' She smiled `` Do you really? make sure you finish them before heading off!'' I started digging into the pancakes as I heard a voice `` I am sleeping with your neighbor, Stan'' I suddenly looked around to see where the voice was coming from, but there was no one. Tracy gave me a weird look. `` Are you okay James?'' I looked at her and then I stared at her for a while before shifting my glance back on to the plate. `` Yeah, I'm fine just need some coffee!'' 
 
 As I walk in I see Bob leaning on to the front desk again, Stephany was actually flirting back today. `` I want to put you up in chains against my bed with blind folds as I pull your hair towar-'' I stood there in shock. That was not Bobs voice I heard just now. I looked around there was no one else around. `` Looking for someone Mr.James?'' Stephany asked `` Hey James! You're a bit late as usual!'' Bob smirked at me. `` Go away loser, I am trying to corner my prey here'' There it was that voice again. It was not Bob nor Stephany. Was I hearing things? 
 
 As I walked over to my cubicle the managing director was coming towards me with someone I had n't seen before. `` Oh hey James! Here, meet our new IT manager, Dave. He will be joining us starting from today'' He introduced the tall man with a clean trimmed beard and strong look he looked professional and had a very firm posture. He smiled slightly as he shook my hand. `` Hi, I am James'' I said. `` I am about to blow this entire building up later today.'' My eyes widened. There it was again, the voice. Unsure if I was hearing things or not I looked at the managing director and his expression had not changed. Am I going crazy? 
 
 I started to recollect all that was going on today and I was thinking so hard about these things that I could not concentrate at all. What was it that I was hearing? Unsure of what to think or do about it. I stood up from my chair and walked towards the IT area of the office. It was empty I looked over all the cubicles and desks and I saw Dave going towards the managing directors office. I quickly look around not even knowing what I was looking for. I found a cardboard box under a desk labeled `` Cables'' Suddenly the letters on the box started to shift. I quickly put the box on the ground. The letters on the box now read `` Bomb''. I hear foot steps and I hide behind the door. It was Dave he was talking on the phone. He paused right before entering through the door. Then he started talking again. `` Yes sir, by noon all preparations would be ready and I will blow this place to the ground.'' 
 
 I had somehow escaped Dave's sight. I took a break for a while and headed home. What was all this he was hearing. He must have really gone mad. I looked at the front door of my house and there was an extra pair of shoes there. As I went in and opened the bedroom door. I found my wife in bed with Stan, my neighbor. 
 
 Truth was inside my head and started speaking to me. Not to converse. Just to point out all the lies that I am hearing.
