Ocean10kv plays a memorable game of Truth or Dare.

Have you ever found yourself in a situation so ridiculous that it would be impossible to later tell a story about? A situation so bizarre that people would assume you're making it up? I found myself in a situation much like that two summers ago. My story takes place in a seemingly deserted neighborhood on a hot summer day. And I'm sorry to inform you that everything I'm about to reveal to you is a true story. Enjoy!

Me and my friend were sitting around in my basement dying of boredom. We had just returned home from the lake and were winding down from the activity. After all the excitement from boating and tubing, we were rather lacking something fun to do while hanging around my house. Suddenly, my friend came up with the genius idea to play "Truth or Dare"! I know . . . what good ever comes out of that game. But it was just the two of us, so we decided to give it a go. We went through a couple rounds just doing stupid dares like "I dare you to do a handstand in the neighbor's yard" type of thing or truths like "Tell me who you like!" Y'know, the usual. But then my friend came up with a completely outrageous dare. And thanks to this dare of hers, we found ourselves in the most awkward situation you could ever imagine.
