Truth or Dare with Friends

The day was finally over. We were all just sprawled out on the floor, the kind of tired that feels good. Someone suggested a game, and it was the easiest yes of the week.

The Wheel Spinning in the Dim Light

We passed the phone around, each taking a turn to spin. The soft whirring sound was the only noise for a moment. I remember waiting calmly for the wheel to stop, watching the colors blur.It landed on a truth for me. A simple one, about a silly childhood fear. Saying it out loud felt strangely freeing in that quiet room.

When the Dares Got Quiet

The dares weren't about big stunts. They were small, almost private things. A whispered compliment to the person on your left. Sharing the song you listened to on repeat that month.It wasn't about performing. It was just about letting a little bit of yourself into the room. The space between spins felt full, not empty.

The Comfort of Known Silences

With close friends, you don't have to fill every gap. The quiet moments during the game were just as comfortable as the talking.

A Different Kind of Tired

We started the game worn out from the week. But this was a different kind of tired by the end. It was softer, like the air in the room had changed.
