Truth or Dare?

                        Jail is a cold, dark place where prisoners just sit in a cell, day in and day out. Some of them know why they are there, others do not have any remembrance. I know these things because it is currently happening to me.

                       I peeled my tired, achey body off of my coffin like bed and placed my head in my hands. How did I get here? The last thing I remember was being at my friend's house playing cards. I was not drinking, or smoking. I did not do any type of drug. Then how was I here? I stood and began to pace the length of my tight, cold cell. I felt something moving up and down in my jean pockets as I walked. I stopped and emptied the contents out onto the floor.

                       I had five items placed on the floor. There was a dark, knit hat, a long, purple leash, twenty dollars in cash, a miniature, clear water gun, and what looked like a small, brown Milk bone dog treat. What in the world did I do last night? I looked like I had just come back from a pet store. Oh no I started to remember what had happened.

                       My friends and I were playing truth or dare, I was dared to do something utterly stupid as a prank. But it did not go as planned. I was pressured to run in to a pet store with a hat on and a fake gun and demand to have all of the money from the register. We said this would be a prank because one of our friends was working that night at the store and we thought it would be funny to scare the pants off of her, Little did I know how she would react.

                       I ran in to the store with my knit hat on and pointed my gun at my friend and yelled for all the money that she had. I could barely keep from laughing as I stood and watched my friend freak out. I should have just stopped right then, but I did not. How much farther could I take this? My friend tossed through the cash register to pull out all of the money. She handed me over a twenty dollar bill. I looked at her and asked if this was all that she had. She replied that they had taken most of the money to the bank already, but that I could have anything else I liked from the store. What the heck did I want from a pet store? I had to keep this going it was way to humorous. So I walked around the store quickly to find something else to take with me. But when I looked back and saw how terrified my friend was I realized I no longer wanted this to go on, So I turned around and stuffed the first thing that I saw in to my pocket. I think that was the purple leash. I turned to start bolting out the door, but before I could get out I was hit it the head with something. All I saw were fuzzy, stars and I tall Sheriff standing over me.

                       Did she really call the cops on me? Of course she did, she had no idea that it was me. How could I be so stupid? I thought this would be funny, but now I am sitting on the floor of a jail cell unaware of what will happen next. All of this happened over one, single, silly little dare.
