How Could She!

She was raised in a loving home learned the Bible at a young age yet tonight she sits in county jail felony charges for lying and theft hanging over her beautiful blond head. She'd just gotten a great job after graduating from high school they'd even given her, her own car trusting her with their patients whose lives are so fragile. And her best friend is out on bond; the poor dear didn't even know a friend could do a thing like that getting her into trouble with lies she had so blindly believed. Like a fox, hiding the truth behind a bushy flick of the tail she'd been told a tall, tall tale that the jewelry belonged to the friend asking her to pawn it. Now they are both in big trouble probably scared out of their minds like children lost in the dark unable to find their way home on a cold Halloween night. They've long ago lost their candy it's been taken by some big bullies they cannot hide behind their masks as these too have been stolen by some pretty awful mug shots. SKB
