I skimmed the board and couldn't find anything so...

I really liked this short story! Though at the same time I hated it. (I hate stories that leave you hanging.)

I read it with my English class and we had to guess what it was: the lady or the tiger. It was almost impossible to guess though, because it could've been either (because of her half-barbaric self).

I thought it was well written and intriguing!

As a former (and rather excellent) liar herself, Aru knew that, sometimes, speaking the truth felt like wrenching a thorn out of your side. But doing the opposite meant pretending it wasn't there. And that made every single step ache. It was no way to live.
