I am writing a 300 word short story(or a "'personal' narrative essay") for the prompt: lessons we learn affect one's future.
So far I have a general idea: I want the lesson to be loyalty and truth and I want the effect to be that the character would learn to appreciate and stay true to everything. I have a really stupid idea, but it will work for this exam.
This protag.'s mother lied a lot, and lied more to cover up other lies. Does anyone have suggestions on 1-2 specific examples(that aren't too cliche like cheating on woman for another one etc.) to depict his mother's lying?
There is a dog who got put down by the protag.'s mother but his/her mother lied to this guy since childhood about this very dear dog. This protag is autistic. One day, protag is told the truth by his father when his mother died of some disease. Boy's childhood and perception of world was ruined at a very young age- shocked him(kind of like how survivors of war are always somewhat...scarred).
