Justification

[rowyn]

Everyone has a story they tell themselves. A story that explains it all, that justifies it. Why it was the right thing to do. Why it made sense at the time. Why you are a good person.

"It was just a little white lie." "I didn't want to hurt his feelings." "She wanted it." "They've got so much, they'll never miss it." "He was asking for it." "It wasn't part of the contract." "Insurance will cover it." "I didn't know."

Everyone is the protagonist in their own story.

And I just want to know, what is yours?

I wouldn't mind hearing your story, either. O:)

I think I lost the plot years ago, so it's kind of a mess. Every so often something inexplicable will happen that's probably the result of a broken scenario -- it would have made sense if I'd managed to hit all the plot points before it.
