Replying...
Intro. The rule was silence. The time, midnight on a birthday that threatened tedium. We were a closed circle of friends, and boredom was our only driving force. It all started with a twist of the bottle. A game, an excuse to fill the void. But the innocence faded with the first kiss that wasn't a joke. The night became intense, intimate and dark. Social pressure merged with curiosity, and the limits fell without warning. A tremor, the smell of vape and the low music to drown out the truth of what was happening in the round. They weren't kisses; They were challenges. That night, on the birthday, we discovered what we were capable of doing when no one was looking. Or, perhaps, when everyone did it.

The Birthday...
