Truth or Dare

edited May 2017 in Short Stories
I "sold" this story previously, but the terms of the contract expired without me ever getting paid or the issue of the magazine ever appearing, so I withdrew the story from consideration and submitted it to Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, a charity anthology from Necon E-books. All proceeds go to the Jimmy Fund at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Got my acceptance letter yesterday. The book will be launched at Necon in July, which I will be attending.
