Submitted to Contest #94

"Okay, i accept the dare" I tell Lucia as we speak to each other in one of th dreams thai haunt me every night. "Will you at least try?" she asks me. "i will" I am on the roof of her house, five years have passed since I submerged; So deep and so dark I never thought I could get out We started with cigarettes, come on, we were sixteen years old; And living in Mexico has always been a paradise of debauchery for us curious young people.

“the DARE” by Nikhil Munroe

Submitted to Contest #94

Nikhil Munroe May 19, 2021 The DARE It was the sunniest day of the week, a Thursday with green in the trees. Nikhil and his friends are coming to an end of their Senior year. With one last week to go, all the boys have to do is stay out of trouble. But sadly, that’s hard for the boys. “Aye Nikhil watch this” as Andrew Dray throws a golf ball at some freshman’s head. “Hahahahaha” the boys laugh out loud. “Cmon, man that ain't cool” Joey Sabourin says. Dray does not acknowledge Joey and continues to laugh. “Joe, c'mon man. It’s our last week ...

Submitted to Contest #94

Reedsy WRITING CONTEST #243: Stubborn as a Bull 2. Start your story with someone accepting a dare. “I dare you”, said the email.

“The Spirit of Engedi” by Nathaniel Kalat

Submitted to Contest #94

Late one Saturday night on the first weekend of summer break, we were all hanging out playing some cards. Joe, a good friend of mine, was getting ready to change things up a bit, and wondered if we could play some truth or dare. “Sure, how about a dare.” I replied. “ I dare you to survive on a deserted island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean for a month.” “Alright,” I said. Joe, totally shocked that I accepted it, stated frantically that I didn’t really have to. “Well my friend, we have two months at our disposal and we just got our stimulus c...
