Would you destroy your character to protect someone else? Why do you suppose she lied?
Lillie McFerrin Writes – Five Sentence Fiction
Fearless
The mic squelched, as she touched it, sending vibrations echoing into the auditorium. She scanned the faces in silence and noted they looked like an abstract painting of hungry wolves. The truth caused her the deepest of sadness but she loved him more than her career. “I love you” she heard her husband’s voice whisper in her ear. She looked into the camera’s and lied to the world, “To answer your questions I did have sexual relations with that man!”

Even BETTER. She did it for love, She loved her husband so much she was willing to perjure herself. OR, more sinister…. she loved her husbands career and power so much she was willing to lie under oath because it meant he would be granted favors in the next election… oh wait… that’s very House of Cards…sorry.

Love the “abstract painting of hungry wolves” simile.
