The Last Time I Lied

by Riley Sager

What none of them understand is that the point of the game isn’t to fool others with a lie. The goal is to trick them by telling the truth.

Omnes vulnerant; ultima necat. I remember the phrase from high school Latin class, although not because I excelled at the language. In fact, I was terrible at it. I remember only because it sent a chill through me when I first learned what it meant. All hours wound; the last one kills.
