Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters or elements in this story that appear in the film "Repo! The Genetic Opera".

A/N: This piece - and others in this collection - are from drabble/one-shot prompts I've received on my Amber Sweet RP blog. Unless otherwise noted, assume all pieces are unconnected.

Summary: Sometimes, Amber Sweet lies.


The biggest lies Amber tells are the ones she tells to herself.

Sure, she says that she's sober for the magazines and news shows the day after she's been shooting up in a back alley. And yes, she changes her skin so often she can scarcely remember what she looked like before her first surgery. But the lies she tells herself are more insidious.

I'm not addicted to surgery.

I don't really need GraveRobber.

This will be my last hit, I swear.

I'm happy.

I'm beautiful.

I'm loved.

I don't feel nothing at all.
