G Michael Smith Stories

Part Two of Two

 One day while eating lunch with her friend, Lily told a lie. It wasn’t a big lie. It didn’t hurt anyone. She thought that lies that didn’t hurt anyone were ok to tell especially if the lies helped you a little. The little lies did help or so Lily thought. 

But little lies turn into medium lies.

Medium lies turn into big lies.

 Big lies turn into Monster lies.

 That is when the problem starts. Lily’s lies turn into real monsters with buggy eyes and big slimy teeth. They appear everywhere and taunt her. Lily cannot escape until she discovers the one single thing that can destroy a Lie Monster especially an Eleventy Headed one.

Bernie is a Banana Slug. He lives below the strawberry patch in Mrs. Macintyre's garden bed. He wakes up one spring morning and crawls out of his apartment. He crawls past some noisy wood bugs up to the surface. It is a warm spring day and he lets the wind caress his mantle. He hears a shriek. Suddenly he is flying through the air, over the fence into the woods beyond. This is  where his adventure begins.
