The Horrifying Moniker
Mother Comb's Campfire Challenge
"Rhea? That's a pretty name!"
"Gee, thanks May!"
"You wanna know a secret?" asked May.
"Sure!"
"May isn't my full name. It's just what I tell people to call me."
"Oh, is it like short for Mabel or Maisy?"
May snorted, "No, silly! It's short for Mayonnaise!"
"Your name is Mayonnaise?" Rhea raised an eyebrow.
"I swear!"
"Must be nice having that name."
"Embarrassing is more like it! People always make fun of my name!"
"At least your name isn't scary like mine. People get so terrified when they learn what Rhea short is for. I will never forget the looks of horror on their faces." confessed Rhea.
"Oh come on, now you have to tell me your full name!"
"No way! I'm not gonna lose the only friend I've made, that too on the first day of camp!"
"Don't be silly! Now come on, tell me your scary name already!"
Rhea was very reluctant, but somehow she managed to get it out.
"What? Speak up, I can't hear you!"
Rhea closed her eyes for a moment before blurting out.
"MY NAME IS DIARRHEA!"

Author's Note:
This story is for Mother Comb's Campfire Challenge and this is the scariest shit (pun not intended) that I could come up with and despite knowing it is a shitty idea (pun not intended), I still went with it π€£

- Sally is short for Saliva
- Sadie is short for Sardine
- Emma is short for Eczema (Sorry Heather π )
- Lizzie is short for Lizard
- Tessa is short for Testicles (I think Paul would like this π€£)
- Lori is short for Calorie

I did not see that end coming. I would change my name for sure!
I did not expect this sudden comedy. ππ€£ Brillant. I was preparing myself for terror then just burst out laughing so if the horror was to kill me with laughter mission accomplished.
Haha, this was really cute. A childish, lighthearted tone that worked really well for what you were trying to accomplish!
Nice work! ππ»
Hilarious, I LOVED it - so clever. Short, sweet, succinct and amazing!
LOL, this is amazing, dear Red Partner! My my, I'm not sure how I missed this...I guess I've been a bit MIA for awhile now. π₯Ήβ€οΈ I definitely did not expect that - I kept guessing what it could be. π Amazing job, dear friend, and congrats on Top Story!! π€β€οΈβ€οΈ
I will just echo everyone else! Suffice it to say, this was a blazing success for all who read it. Congrats on TS, my friend. Your humor is quite infectious (pun intended...?)
That was really well-written
Hilarious, Dharrsheena! ππ
Okay I did not expect that omg πππ
If you do not know the English language and the meaning of the word. it is quite beautiful to say. Congratulations
As long as no one uses "Butterscotch", I'll keep reading! Great TS! ππ½ π
ππππππ
Hahaha I didn't think that would be what it was short for. Downright horrifying! Those parents want their kid to have NO friends. Funny story!
I laughed out loud at the name reveal. Good twist on horror.
I will never understand why kids find, snot, vomiting, pooping and all the bodily fluids so funny, gross I say, which have them rolling on the floor. This is like that, one is grossed out but cannot help rolling on the floor. Congrats on TS and Leaderboard Dhar. Your sense of humor is addictive, you rock!!!!
π€£ You got me so good on this one! I was expecting one of your patented horror story twist endings! Also, May is giving me Aioli vibes π
This article is absolutely excellent and packed with interesting content.
OMG- I had no idea where this was going and I was scared! Actually Iβm still a little scared by the End! Lol! Wasnβt one of your characters named Aioli once? π The authorβs note at the end!! π€£ Are those fun facts for real or are ya just pranking us Dharsheena? I havenβt been online much as Iβve been on a trip. In the process of travelling home now, so sorry I missed this earlier. Congrats on your leaderboard recognition! πππ
