Defiance


from the ABC set Candy Bag

The party was taking off quite well; after four rounds of drinking, general propriety and self-control had decided to take a walk.
“Come on, Truth or Dare?” they were all goading her to get involved in the game.
“Hmmm… Truth” she smiled. The option had delighted many.
“Why? Plain scared?” he mocked. He had to admit he was quite surprised by her choice.
She gazed into his eyes for a second longer than necessary. His reaction had amused her greatly.
“Nope... Just dared” she laughed.

Um, ok. Fairly new here...I am wondering who "she" is...and the subtle eye action..all good.

Since you leave me wondering about the characters and WHAT HAPPENS next, I guess that means it was good?

It's really hard to give an opinion on something so minor.

It didn't suck.

Hello Kelly,
I better clarify - I used to write a category called two inch tales. It was supposed to be an ultra short piece (like 55 words or something similar) but may be I have not done well in this.

Thanks for your feedback. :)
