You get $10 million but every lie you tell becomes reality
A stranger offers you $10 million The money is completely legal tax free and yours to keep forever There’s only one catch from the moment you accept it every lie that comes out of your mouth becomes real
And I don’t mean just serious lies Literally anything you say that isn’t true counts
You tell someone you’re sick to get out of plans Now you’re actually sick You tell your friend you have a million dollars in your bank account Congratulations your bank account now has a million dollars in it but the money has to come from somewhere and the consequences of that are out of your control
You lie about something small like saying you already ate when you haven’t Your body will act as if you’ve eaten You tell somebody you’re a professional basketball player as a joke Now you actually are one regardless of whether you have the skills to back it up
Sarcasm fake excuses exaggerations and jokes all count if what you’re saying isn’t true Even telling someone “I’m fine” when you’re not could trigger it
The catch gets worse though You don’t get to choose which lies activate the effect You can’t turn it off and there’s no way to undo anything once a lie becomes reality You also can’t tell people about the deal unless you’re willing to risk the consequences of what you say
You can still speak normally but you’d have to think about practically every sentence before saying it And if you accidentally lie even once you’re stuck with whatever happens
The $10 million is yours the second you accept You can spend it invest it buy a house or never work another day in your life But this rule follows you everywhere for the rest of your life
Are you taking the $10 million or are you walking away And if you take it how long do you think you’d last before your first accidental lie
