“The Price of Candy” by Anna Tishchenko

Submitted to Contest #94

“I dare you to lift something from the corner store. Doesn’t have to be big, but we’ll be watching so no cheating, got it?” She stands with her hands on her hips, looking down at me with malice in her pale blue eyes. Matty has always been a bit of a hellcat. Who set fire to the school by trying to use a Bunsen burner to light her cigarette? Matty. Who stole all the liquor from the teacher’s lounge? Matty. Who set off the fire alarm during exam day so that her best friend could get another night to study? Matty, of course. She had nerves ...

“Changing a Friendship” by Ella Salem

Submitted to Contest #94

*This story was written with the help of my little sister, she is a very talented young lady and was excited to submit her first story! Sarah looked at me and said “Brooke it’s your turn, truth or dare!” I feel my mouth go dry and I shift in my seat. I was hoping Sarah wouldn’t pick me this time. “I..um…I pick d-d-dare” I feel my face go red, I always stutter when I’m nervous. Why would I say that? Why would I pick dare? Sarah is my best friend and she knows too much about me. She knows exactly what to dare me to do. Sarah smiled and ...

“Crazy Girl” by Lucyna Polok

Submitted to Contest #94

„Watch it!” I whirl around to localise the owner of the squeaky voice that has just compromised my hearing. I find it in the form of a 5’2” blondie, currently trying to keep her gaze focused long enough to shoot daggers at me. Uh-oh. I regard her head to toe – not to height-shame, but there’s not much distance my eyes have to travel. She must have been the body I’ve bumped into moments ago while making my way through the crowd. The midget seems pissed at me for the fact, which I find interesting, considering how she is the one clenc...

“A Glowing Mistake” by Jayce DeBoer

Submitted to Contest #94

“Alright, then. I’ll do it.” Maya clenched her fists as the other kids stared, shocked that she had accepted such a request. Without another word, she set off, the school children watching her back as she left. She hadn’t intended to accept such a dare, but the spur of the moment had caught up with her, and she had once again spoken without thinking. She was a ways away from the school now, the laughter from her classmates echoing in the distance. Her teachers were sure to be wondering where she disappeared to, and a call home ...

“IZZY'S DARE” by Melinda Madrigal

Submitted to Contest #94

I dare you are the words you fear, those words certainly don't put fear into me. I was dared to go into the most haunted place in America. I accepted the dare and now I stand in front of Bailey mansion.The day beforeGlenn Bay is said to be the most haunted town in America and the place I call home. When people hear about Glenn Bay they think about ghosts, demons and witches, but to me this is all crazy talk.I live in Glenn Bay my entire life and I never encountered any ghosts, demons or witches, but that's not to say there aren't any stories...

“The dare” by David Nutt

Submitted to Contest #94

The dare. It was one of those hot, stifling days in Paris. All the windows in the upper room at the brasserie were open and the background noise of the Paris traffic had a soporific effect on the group listening with difficulty to the lecturer talking about a book that was the flavour of the month in the intellectual circles. The group, numbering sixteen, mostly women, had been gathered under an international book club of a distinguished reputation. Frankly, the book was boring, the group not particularly interesting, and the animator ha...

“The Suicide Well” by Sonal Singh

Submitted to Contest #94

The village Chaandi was nowhere like its name in appearance. The Indian village, situated in a remote corner in one of its poorest states, translated literally to ‘silver’. Its GDP and HDI status, however, did not make it any lesser for siblings Rashmi, Rahul, and Rama, all of 10, 8, and 7 respectively. For them, Chaandi was not just silver, it was the gold of their annual vacations. They came here every year with their parents, for this is where their paternal grandparents lived. The excitement would begin much before the journey did. The...

“I Dare Ya” by Trish Beauchemin

Submitted to Contest #94

We are both 24 years old. Definitely not kids anymore. So why does he still have the ability to goad me into just about anything with just three little words? Jimmy’s “I dare ya,” is something I’ve never been able to refuse. Best friends since kindergarten, we’ve gotten each other into more trouble with those words than I can tell you. And today is no different. I close the padlock to safeguard all my things – keys, purse, glasses, clothes. Yes, I said clothes. We’ve heard stories for years about the nudist resort just 20 miles north of t...

“A Grave Dare” by Kealoha S

Submitted to Contest #94

What an easy dare, Cole couldn’t help but think. The dare was to kiss the town’s graveyard cat. It was Halloween Night, and Cole was hanging out with his friends. They were seated in the living room under his older sister, Ciara watchful eye. They had felt too old to go treat-or-tricking even though they were only 13 years-old. Yet, they still need a babysitter which happened to be his sister who was 18 years-old. “So are you going to accept the dare, Cole” His friend Tyler smiled. He was a tall, Asian guy with red dyed hair. He always...

“In These Moments, We: Gambling With Hope” by Kees Chan

Submitted to Contest #94

Warnings: one-sided sexual acts, sexual unenthusiasm Without a moment of hesitation, Jiaye jugged her head in the direction of the girl hanging upside down on the plush seating of the performing arts center. “Her? The school loon?” Ed laughed. “No way that Mo will.” “Who said that I wouldn’t? I’m a man of my word.” “Because you haven’t had a real girlfriend, let alone a fake one. Have you even ever asked out anyone?” Rengmo shot Ed a glare when his laughing didn’t subside, then glanced at the girl. Dark hair fell like streamers across the fl...

“Thou Shall Not Eat” by Abishai Wafula

CW: LanguageDISCLAIMER: The author of this fine piece of art is in no way responsible for you cracking your ribs, please laugh responsibly.A wise, traditional, random comrade I met way back on the dusty streets of… what’s the name of the damn town again? Anyway in his shabby, greasy and smelly garments, wasting away by the musty roadside, he mumbled something a street urchin was not supposed to even fathom- at least according to my urban boy intellect. He had his dirty little collection tin by his side, a few somber coins strewn across what ...

“Midnight Feeding” by Shawn Luther

Submitted to Contest #94

"Go on, do it!" Kyle stared back at his friends, a hesitant smile dancing on his lips. They stood in a tight group in front of him, leaning against each other and laughing. They were all drunk. Three sheets to the wind, as his grandfather would say. Kyle himself was feeling no pain. The area around him was hazy, but he couldn't tell if it was from the creeping mist or his own inebriation. Perhaps a bit of both. Julie half fell, half leaned into him, her mouth inches from his. "Come on, do...

“Damn she’s hot” young Liam said, staring at young Bella Williams who had walked passed them, the wind blew through her hair gracefully and her hips swayed hypnotizingly. “Well too bad she’s out of your lead” His best friend, Usher spoke up, “Who says” Liam snapped. “Dude look at you and where you are and then her” Liam’s other friend Landon answered.“I can make her mine if I wanted to”, “Wanna bet on that?” Landon asked.“Yeah, I’ll make her mine before graduation” Liam confidently said. “So you have 5 months left, Usher type that on the bet...

“DO YOU TAKE THE DARE?” by Bumblebee Lovebooks

Submitted to Contest #94

“Yes” I whispered. But I don’t think Cam heard. He was too busy goading me. “You are not chickening out on me, Are You Allison?” Cameron said with a cruel glint in his eyes that I have never seen before. But I ignored it. He has been behaving extremely weird today. But all of my questions have been rebuffed with one taunt or another. So, I finally gave up. Maybe it was his parents. I sighed. It was not like he was treated badly; they didn’t beat him or anything but neither do they care much for him. He was generally ignored by both sets of h...

“Northern Star” by Jacqueline Njawe

Submitted to Contest #94

They looked at each other and he cocked an eyebrow at her? “Well?” he dared. She smiled sweetly. “You’re on!” It was the first time the African Diamond gala was being held in Central Africa, and Cameroon had the honor of being the host of this prestigious event. Ever since the coalition of African states had nationalized most of the diamond mines in Africa, individual states had more of a stake in how these jewels were mined, traded and exported. This was a coup for Africa, a strong stand for independence from the post-colonia...
