The interrogation room smelled of stale coffee and sweat. Across the table, Detective Marlow slid a photograph into the center: a watch, its crystal shattered, caught mid-flash by a streetlamp’s glare.
But this was different. This watch belonged to a man who’d vanished two nights ago. And you had been there — not to hurt him, but to watch him leave. To memorize the way his shadow split across wet asphalt. To count the seconds before he disappeared for good.
You waited until the door clicked shut. Until his footsteps faded down the linoleum hall.
“Detective,” you said, and let your voice soften at the edges — just enough to seem human. “I’m a bad liar. That’s why I’m still here.”
The fluorescent light buzzed like a trapped fly.
Liar: Bad
