The situation
Ben had told a fib to get out of trouble, and at first it had worked. But now he had to remember the fib, and worry about being found out, and feel bad inside. The fib had seemed easy, but carrying it around was hard work. The truth would have been hard for a moment — but the lie was heavy all the time. (Feeling words: Worried · Heavy)
