Truth or Die

Mickie Royce

"Truth or dare, Lesli?" I asked, smirking at her. He face went red. "Um...truth," she said. "Ooh!" Cameron shouted. "I've got one!" I pointed at him. "Go ahead." The way we play truth or dare is...well, different. See, everyone goes in a circle, saying 'truth or dare' to the person on the right of them. And anyone's allowed to give the truth or dare. Anyone. If it's a truth that requires an action, it turns into a dare and they have to do it. "Hmm," Cameron said. "Should I give this one to you, or should I be nice and give you something else...

Do We Have to Fight People?

Mickie Royce

Submitted to Contest #66

I nervously walked into The White Room with my little brother. Today was the day I hated. The day I dreaded. Today was the day everyone in our District had to fight each other. Head-to-head, face-to-face. “Cambria,” My younger brother Ian said. “Do we have to fight people?” I breathed deeply and shook my head. “No, Ian. We will never fight people. It’s not who we are. No matter how much they might seem to deserve it, remember what God tells us.” “Love your enemies,” “That’s right. We will always love people no matter what.” “So we’re n...
