Full Circle by Lightning Strike
04/06/2006The Media never lies: agreed? I don't think so... Sometimes the lies published in the tabloids can seem so plausible; believable even; and these lies can then become convincingly like the truth if you are searching for someone to blame.

And what are the consequences when those affected are driven away by those who they once counted as friends? Sometimes, only when the physical pain is starting to fade do the deeper scars begin to reveal themselves. And some scars take a long time to heal.
