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 🤣
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 🤣)
- Lori is short for Calorie
Let me know in the comments if you can think of more 🤣

Wow wonderful ✍️📕🏆♦️♦️♦️
Mayonnaise? 😂😂 I didn't see that coming. All ideas are welcome, no matter if they are diarrhea, at least it is strengthening the writing muscles 😜 says the person who spent hours writing a story and just casually deletes it 🙈 maybe I just need to read more stories to feel more confident writing in certain genres. But I am glad I was still strengthening the writing muscles. I enjoyed knowing what those names at the end were short for, they are hilarious 😂😂😂 I enjoyed the suspense too and how I was not expecting any of it, such a disturbingly amazing read 👏👌🤗♥️
Lmao! This is so clever. 🤣 Great piece!
hahahahahaha - caught me by complete surprise. Nice!
Cleanses are supposed to be healthy! Maybe her name was based off a juice cleanse. Or one of those 'Ballerina Teas'. That sound elegant. :)
It leaves us with a smile and a reminder of the joy that true friendship brings, wonderful, excellent job, love it, wish you a very nice weekend Dharrsheena!
Very nice 👍
A very, very good one, . Really tops it all!

I laughed so hard at this I had to share it around the family!
Very relatable! Well written!
The conversation feels natural and playful, which helps to set a light-hearted tone. Impressive!
