“The Game” by Carol Carll

Submitted to Contest #107

The Meeting. The belief that he would kill still sent spiders down my spine. I wrapped my fingers more tightly around my cup of coffee. 2 "No wonder my fingers are stiff and sore. I'm clutching everything tightly." We had played Truth or Dare with Jen and Joe, Colleen, and a John, we didn't know. We played it at Joe's, as usual . That night it was quite different. We met :-)the end of last winter. I was walking home with two paper bags, with paper handles, and groceries. The sn...

A.... soft, silent, sacred breeze traveled. Beer bottles clanked as footsteps shifted the dirt. The sweet aroma of bitternut hickory burning- seduced the midnight air. "Your Turn", she said. A rambunctious belch rang through the calm night. A middle-aged man with a beer gut and reeking breath of one too many beers, sat down in the chair. "Umm...I dare you to make out with me". His soulless eyes glowing orange from the reflection of the burning firepit. His sinister smile from ear to ear. "Come on it would be like old times...instead the ja...

Shelley heard a noise in the kitchen and saw Jessica’s mom leaned ...

“Marnie's Truth or Dare” by Dale Josef

Submitted to Contest #107

It was in Belinda's spacious kitchen, with its white-painted cupboards, its ten-foot ceilings and its chintz curtains that the idea was first hatched. The women were seated round the big old wooden table. They were all college-age, attractive and fairly brimming with new ideas and enthusiasm. "OK truth or dare?" said Belinda. She'd been more or less the leader of the group for the past couple of years. Marnie thought hard for just a moment. "Truth!" Marnie was nothing if not enthusiastic. "Are you still a virgin?" "Hmmmm..." Marnie now had t...

“The last time we played” by Edward Savage

Submitted to Contest #107

“Give me a drink”, Lisa giggled, waving her empty glass in the air. Daniel laughed and leaned forward with the bottle of vodka and tried to pour some into the glass that was weaving above the coffee table between them. “Hold still dammit!” complained Daniel trying to match the motions of the glass. The pair were well on their way to being rat-arsed. They weren’t the only ones mind you. Micky was almost comatose in the corner, Julia was sat on the floor leaning back against the sofa, squinting blearily around. Becky and Richard were entwi...
