"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 🤣 Here are some fun facts:

  • Sally is short for Saliva
  • Sadie is short for Sardine
  • Emma is short for Eczema (Sorry Heather 😅)
  • Lizzie is short for Lizard
  • Tessa is short for Testicles (I think Paul would like this 🤣)
