[ WP ] Its been a week since anyone has been able to lie .

`` Here he comes'' said a dark manly voice, before walking up to me and starting a conversation. 
 
 `` Do you have a moment, sir?'' he asked calmly, yet firmly. I hesitated, I could n't say no but I did n't want to say yes. He noticed and stopped me, holding my arm he repeated his question. `` Do you have a moment.'' 
 
 I had no choice, I had to say yes. `` Good'' the man said with a little smile. 
 
 `` Things have changed'' he started `` Things have changed, for better and for worse. The truth has been spoken, lies will not help you anymore.'' 
 
 I thought to myself that I had just stumbled across another maniac, another end of the world fool. But there was something different about this man. Somehting I could n't quite figure out. It made me feel uncomfortable. 
 
 `` Something changed the world, you ca n't lie anymore. Nothing but the truth can be said.'' He continued `` There's no more darkness, no more secrets.'' 
 
 It felt like a cold shower, I felt it tingling in my spine. He was right, I could n't lie no matter how hard I tried. Just mere moments ago, I could n't bring myself to say no to this man. A sense of dread came upon me, the feelling as if I've forgotton something, but ca n't remember what it was. 
 
 `` Continue'' I whispered. The man just smiled at me. `` You mentioned things changed for better and for worse, what did you mean?'' 
 
 The man stopped smiling and softly whispered `` It's costing me my job.'' 
 
 I felt sorry for the man, I did n't know why. I did n't know him, though this whole thing started to feel familiar. He seemed upset, as if he was about to lose something he loved doing. 
 
 `` How can the truth cost you your job?'' I asked. 
 
 The man just stared at me before answering. `` Father has changed things. He never liked me and send me away, trying to forget I ever existed. He gave me a job no one else wanted. But I grew fond of it and he got fed up.'' 
 
 You could see the fire burning in his eyes. His anger and resentment towards his father. 
 
 I took a step back, taking the whole situation in. I started looking at the man, dressed in a black suit and slicked back hair. He looked quite handsome, but still things felt weird. 
 
 `` Your father, he caused this?'' 
 
 `` Yes'' 
 
 `` I do n't believe it.'' The feeling of dread started fading, I felt angry. `` You're telling lies.'' A fire inside me awakened. I did n't want to admit it, but I trusted the man, believed him. 
 
 And just like that, he started laughing. I told a lie and unknowingly brought darkness back into our world. I had been a puppet in the devils game. I saved his job at the cost of the world. This was his fruit of temptation and I gladly accepted it.
