ADMIN POST: The Lie or Lay Challenge

Helvirago suggested a challenge in which someone is lying, "as in, a character must be lying, or the narrator could be lying, or a criminal is lying." But lying of course has a double meaning: there's lying as in deception or fabrication, and then lying as in in lying down. And of course, there's that notorious confusion between lie and lay, not that I would ever encourage you in such confusion.

So! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to write a story about lying--i.e. fabrication, reclining, fucking, or grammar. Possibly all four if you feel you can pull it off.

It's Sunday night by my watch; new stories are due Sunday March 13th at midnight.

And okay, so the difference between this challenge and the mendacity one is that it's broader and has the other connotations?
