“Dare I do It” by Cagalli Lim

Submitted to Contest #94

"Okay, I'll do it.", I said That was my first mistake. I should not have done this. ------ Anyone who had even the faintest trace of common sense knew that Daedalus' maze was never, ever, to be entered. With its towering, ivy covered walls that stretched to about two hundred feet in the air, its giant rustic metal door and lack of any clear or apparent exit, the structure was easily the most horrific building in all of the nearlands. No one in their right mind would ever even think about entering the labyrinth. Unluckily for me, I'...

“All The Dares I've Accepted” by Rutheanna Chang

Submitted to Contest #94

Hi, I’m Jake White and I am a stubborn 7 years old. I go to a school called Elementary of Apples, in California. I know it’s kind of weird calling yourself stubborn, but I actually KNOW that I am stubborn. Not like everyone else who doesn’t admit that they are either stupid or stubborn. Now let’s get to the interesting bit. I was standing in a vast room with a marble staircase in the middle of the room. Can you guess where I am? Well, you might not believe me but I am in the White House in Washington. This is how it all started. I accept...

“Howie Loves Lavender” by Echo Hicks

Submitted to Contest #94

I don’t know much about bulls. So, when a bull broke through the front door of my flower shop, I wasn’t sure what to do. I live in the city so being attacked by a bull wasn’t at the top of my list of fears, however ever since then, I have added it to the list. I have learned that I do, in fact, need to be afraid of bulls bursting into my shop and destroying all the flowers. I’ll tell you the full story… The day started off as just a normal day. I was working alone, and I had just finished serving a long-time customer. As they left my shop, ...

“Truth or Dare” by Shouku Nishimiya

Submitted to Contest #94

"I dare you to snatch the wig off of Mr. Harrison," Becky whispered in Rachel's ear. Rachel looked over at her best friend in confusion. "What did you say?" "I said, I dare you to snatch the wig off of Mr. Harrison." Becky glanced up at the teacher. Mr. Harrison was a pot-bellied, old man. He reeked of cologne. He wore bifocals which made his beady little eyes pop out at you. He also wears a toupee which looks like something large shat on his head. Who's he trying to impress?? She nodded. She never backed out of a dare, no matte...

“Surprise” by Mac Leys

Submitted to Contest #94

The group was sitting around a bond fire. They had all gathered at Ryan’s house after senior prom. With graduation early the next morning, most of the friends had left for bed, or to hook up somewhere else. Only five kids remained, sitting in beach chairs as the fire slowly died down. Leslie was sitting on Ryan’s lap, affectionately twirling her fingers in his hair. Lucas and Cindy were sitting, holding hands and whispering to each other quietly. Jacob was laying with his seat reclined, staring at the stars, with a bud light can dangling in ...

“I DARE YOU!” by Patricia Green

Submitted to Contest #94

John and Joanne stood near the rail looking out over the Minitor Mountain Range. In the distance they could see their home town, and almost see the bridge over the river. Just then a very colourful skydiver passed them heading out towards the open pasture. “Wow! Look at that! Wouldn’t it be lovely to be able to do that? Soar like the birds, and see such beautiful sights!” Joanne squealed. “They’re just around the corner, let’s go and watch them take off!” John answered. ...

“I Am Going To Win” by Alina T

Submitted to Contest #94

"I dare you to tell James you like him." Mia grinned. The girls around Isla giggled. Isla felt panic as she stood there in the middle of a circle of girls. Every girl there was staring at her with cold eyes daring her to stand down, daring her to say she wouldn't tell James she liked him. Isla felt her cheeks turn bright red as she pushed through the circle of girls and walked across the field to a large willow tree where Isla's best friend Nora was sitting peacefully reading a book with a bright orange cover. Nora looked up from her book as...

“The Bravery Inside” by J.A. Blackmore

Submitted to Contest #94

"Go now, Jenny." Katherine said, she nudged me forward. "Remember, it was a dare, you've got to do it. And even if it doesn’t go over well, we’ll still be by your side. Or over here." Kendra nodded and held up her notepad: Just do it. Okay, so... Kendra is mute, or just chooses not to speak. If she chooses not to speak, that’s actually smart, because then her words can’t come back to bite her in the butt. And somehow, she's still my best friend. Or one of my best friends, at least. I gave an exasperated sigh but trudged forward across the ca...

“Just because you said I would not make it” by Pina Bastos

Submitted to Contest #94

I hear him laughing at me when I told him I would make it. He had already had his lot. And he complained about it all the time. His work was not properly exposed, he said. Of course, it had not. He donated his worse work to the museum. He wanted them to buy it. If they don't buy even great works, why should they buy his? Doesn't he see he is being vain? " "It is always the same story. You believe you are the most. Nobody is as good as you. As for me, how dare I compare to you? I am a bissextile artist, you say. And you know this is neither ...

“The Dare” by Sona Sethi

Submitted to Contest #94

Now that they were inside the shop, there was no turning back. The bookseller pulled down his reading glasses to the bridge of his nose and looked at them curiously. It had been earlier in the day that the Bookseller’s Association had sent out a notice stating that bookstores around town were noticing a spate of shoplifting. The shopkeeper shook his head in despair, honestly summer break spelt nothing but trouble, with school kids having nothing to do but indulge in mischief. After all an idle mind was a devil’s workshop.Jim and Sean had bee...

""I... I'll do everything that you tell me. You know that I love you! You know it, Right!! Truth or Dare anything you say... just tell me. I promise!

“Addictive Truth” by Sherita Dabney

Submitted to Contest #94

“Truth or dare” she asked me as she sat down with her frozen margarita in one hand, and a shot of Tequila in the other. Her house was just as beautiful as she was. Tall ceilings with bright lights, exposing every corner of the house. Marble countertops with a shine that shows through your reflection, as if she spent hours polishing it. She slid the shot of Tequila across her marble countertop, and it stopped directly in front of me. I’m not usually a drinker, especially not of Tequila, but her soft brown eyes and those deep dimples...

“Murmur of the ghost” by Nika Earwood

Submitted to Contest #94

Helios sprawled casually on his chariot and gave the horses a final lash, steering them toward the stables hidden from human eyes in the heavens. The last rays of the sun, as if escaping from the mouth of a dragon, reflected a red-yellow stripe on the horizon. But few people recalled this god of light, or Zeus during a thunderstorm. Even about Dionysus at the lavish feast, no one said a word. The time of the pagan deities and their child heroes has passed. “Today I caught a devil-witch!” — could now be heard at the round table, while ...

“The horrible truth” by Grace Lee

Submitted to Contest #94

"Jackpot!" Jack exclaimed to his friends, "I won!" He said as he opened another bottle of wine. Gases spat out like a volcano across the room, spitting on everyone's shirt and sleeve. "Ugh, playing cards are so boring!" His friend Alex rolled his eyes, throwing his cards on the table, and grabbed the can of beer next to him, "we had already played so much stupid kiddie stuff, why don't we play something exciting and thrilling?" "Like what?" Anna, a girl in the room asked, gurgling the bottle of beer she has grabbed from the fridge, "is there...

“A Dangerous Dare” by Meadow Ell

Submitted to Contest #94

“I dare you to take drugs, Jacks got some” giggled Tina, “I’ll do it” as I reached out my hand my eyes opened with a start, same old nightmare. Funny thing is, who would've thought a dare would be so dangerous. What was my friend thinking. Why? why did none of us think it was stupid. Jess had known it was stupid. Here we are, reality. I lay here, cold white walls, airless and too hot. “Do you want a coffee” Tina asked nervously, was she my friend I thought to myself. Or was this, the once a month visit that I received to ease ...
