Five different brands of chips, candy, and soda were scattered haphazardly throughout the tiny dorm room. Fluffy pillows covered with purple and blue pillow cases were used as cushions in the space in-between two twin sized beds.

I totally like this! Especially that Spock saved the day. Well sort of. Close enough,

Love your take on the prompt! Well done!

Thank you very much.

I kept saying the quote over and over again in my head, but I couldn't for the life of me figure out where it came from. When I looked it up, I started laughing. I couldn't believe that a quote from a movie that I haven't seen in such a long time stuck with me. Not only that, but I'm pretty sure that movie came out the year I was born.

It always comes down to Spock in the end, doesn't it? The use of the girls to discuss this was a fun idea, and they were right -- the details matter in these situations.

Thank you! I was hoping that it came off as natural instead of forced.

This was a nice take on the prompt. I liked the dialogue and could easily picture the college dorm room and girls in the write!

Hugs and peace~~~

Good dialogue and setting here, very realistic. And if it comes down to it, please let my fate not be casually decided by college kids preoccupied with the imminent arrival of pizza!

Thank you!

I kind of hope that my fate isn't decided by hungry college kids too, but then again everyone says that they are the future, so maybe it is okay to put some trust in them.
