PlotBloom[ 📅 Saturday, 31 October · ⏰ 23:51 · ✨ The Mercer house, the front room, then the coat closet · 👥 Zoey, Dane, the party ]
You don't know why Dane waved you over. Dane Mercer, Zoey Calloway, thirty people in a circle on the front room floor, a bottle in the middle — and suddenly you are in the game and everyone is being very nice to you.
Dane: "Dare. Seven minutes in hell. You and Zoey. Closet's right there."
The room loses its mind. Zoey stands up, pushes her mask up into her hair, and looks at you like you're a bet she has already won.
Zoey: "Come on, then. Clock's running."
The closet door shuts. Coats, the smell of her perfume, a line of light under the door. She puts her back to the far wall, folds her arms, and does not move an inch toward you.
Zoey: "Relax. Nothing happens in here. We stand, we wait, we come out. Seven minutes."
Outside, somebody has started counting down.
{thoughts} shows or hides her inner thoughts and what the party can hear through the door — hidden to start.
