“The Spirit in the Wonderful World” by Eva Nicole

Submitted to Contest #94

“Go into your parent’s office and bring something out here to show us all.”My hands start to shake and I feel six eyes bore into my skull.“It’s a dare. You have to,” said Erica, smiling mischievously. Why did I agree to let them come over? Well, why did I choose dare in the first place? I knew this was going to happen. I’m not even allowed into my parent’s office. I thought.“My parent’s office has a lock for a reason,” I state, trying to sound as confident as I can. “I can’t- I can’t just break into it!”The three girls look at each other wit...

“I Dare You” by Mark Wambugu

Submitted to Contest #94

“Go on,” Daniel said. “I dare you.” Amy looked into her date’s eyes and let her gaze linger. She was not one to refuse a dare - a thing she had just revealed to Daniel. It was their third date and they spent the time at a carnival enjoying the rides and the unhealthy meal options. Daniel shifted his weight on one leg and returned the glare. His was more playful than Amy’s own menacing one. “You son of a bitch,” Amy said. She said it while smiling. Daniel smiled back. The dare was simple. She had to visit a psychic - another...

“If you don’t do it then you can’t hang out with us anymore.” “What? You're kidding.” “No, I’m not. If you don’t complete the dare then you’ll die.” … “Fine.” * * * 8 hours earlier * * * “Hey, Josh!” “Hey?” “We’re having a little get-together later tonight, I was wondering if maybe you wanted to join us?” “Wow, really? I can probably come, who, where, and when?” “Does it matter? I’ll be there… But it’s at Daniels house around seven.” “Oh, Daniel’s house… Okay, I’ll have to ask my mom. Do you think I could bring Sam?” “I t...

“The Legend” by Maheen Shahid

Submitted to Contest #94

Finally the summer holidays were here and my friends and I had amazing plans for the summer. As my family owns a summer house, which is located the mountains with a large lake a few miles away and a deep, dark forest in the backyard. We went to the summer house as soon our exams ended and our holidays were announced. We were excited as it was the first time me and my friends were going the summer house all alone for the first time with our family maid to take care of us. “It is going to be the best trip”, Sarah said when we met at my house t...

“I dare you,” Mike says to Jim. “I dare you.” “Mark pops up and says, “Yea, Jim, Mike dares you.” He dared you, he dared you, the others yell. Jim just looks around. “Are you a chicken?” asks Mike. Bawk, bawk, chorus the others while flapping their arms. “No, I’m not a chicken,” replies Jim. “Well,” asks Mike. “Do you take my dare?” “First, let me make sure I understand the dare,” answers Jim. “He’s stalling ‘cause he’s chicken,” someone shouts.

Submitted to Contest #94

“Brad, you aren’t going to accept Walt’s dare to be blindfolded for twenty-four hours are you?” “Sure am. It can’t be that hard. I only have to stay blindfolded and alone in my apartment for twenty-four hours.” “You have always told me you can’t stand to have your eyes covered by anything so how are you going to keep your eyes covered with a blindfold that long?” “That is why Walt dared me. He knows I can’t even stand to have someone like you sneak up behind me and cover my eyes with your hands. But I’ll show him I can win the $50...

It was the last of school for the children at Roy Emerson Middle School in Windale, Alabama. Four boys Todd Smith, Garrett Johnson, Willie Jones, and Chad Anderson were excited to start their summer vacation off going fishing at Dalton Lake.

The last couple of days of school were always half days for the students. There was a path where a dirt road leads near a creek. The boys had never been this way and their c...

“The Dangers of Monopoly” by Gabrielle Bucaya

Submitted to Contest #94

It was the summer of 2006. I couldn't recall it being one of the most memorable years, apart from the awful fashion trends (RIP Von Dutch clothing) and the blossoming of Nelly Furtado's greatest hits. I, however, wasn't a fan of low-cut jeans or bedazzled dresses covered in sequins. But when it did come to the summer time, I can admit, I did not shy away from sun dresses. Tonight was the perfect time for the occasion, for there I was, sitting by the poolside at the Matterson's home for a fun game of Monopoly meets Truth or Dare; just thre...

“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'...

“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 ...

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...

“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...
