The Invisible Lie

I’ve loved Jude Algers for years.

I have watched him for a long time. Cataloged every feature. Imagined my life with him by my side, loving me the way that I love him.

Jude is my desire. My fantasy.

My obsession.

He is all I see.

If he only knew that I existed.

But he is what I want and I’m happy to watch him live his life.

Until the day comes and I’m no longer content being the outsider.

I’m sick of watching. I’m tired of fantasizing.

I've decided that my obsession will become my truth.

Jude will be mine.

At whatever the cost.

How far will I go to live the lie?
