Jill never intended to dig such a deep hole. At first she skimmed cash off the top, just a little here and there, money no one noticed. She’d pay it back. Of course she would.
Eight years later, her game had reached a point of no return as she falsified wire transfers, forged documents and kited money across the country. Deep down she knew the day would come. Eventually. Yet eventually became impossible to imagine as the scam became her reality.
Until the slip-up.
One overlooked bank transaction.
Her house of cards unraveled by lunchtime. Really though, truth brought relief.

This week I’m linking up with Write Tribe’s 100 Words on Saturday. Prompt: she realized she could no longer hide the truth. And p.s. this story is fiction—any resemblance to true bank drama is coincidental. No, really.
I am so amazed at the way you can create a story from a simple prompt.
Thanks Colene.
It all falls apart until the truth is revealed!
It always seems to catch up with a person eventually. Great story Talya and probably happens more than realize.
You never cease to amaze me with your writing, Talya! Glad you had that disclaimer in there. ; )
Thanks Peggy!
Truth revealed of course gives one relief.Nice.
Good story. And yes, the truth always comes out eventually.
Oh dear! I was shocked when the sweet-natured and helpful guy who sat a row away from me at work was found to be part of an international bank scam, Talya! Your story is quite close to the truth.
Yes Corinne – it happened several times during my banking career.
