The T or D Version
note: this is based on something that actually happened to me, but i wasn’t thinking of it as autobiography when i wrote it, i was thinking of it as fiction, so some of it is not true at all and the rest has been heavily embellished.❤️
I went with my older brother’s friends, to a big, old house on a busy street. It was a party. My brother left with his friends. I stayed. I went up to the attic with a few guys to smoke pot. I had just turned 18 and was still in high school, they were a little older. Someone had a deck of cards. I made a joke we should play strip poker. I was the only girl. Also, it was summer and I was barefoot, and I only had some baby blue shorts and a t-shirt on, along with my bra and panties. So four things on. Of course they wanted to play, and were pretty persistent about it. I kept joking that I wanted to play too. I was pretending that I wanted to see them naked as much as they wanted to see me naked. That wasn’t really true, but I really wanted, even then, for them all to see me naked.
So we started playing. It was a real game, and I didn’t loose anything for the first few rounds. One guy lost his shirt before I lost anything. Then someone said, “do we want to play stock rules or T or D version?” I said “what’s T or D version?” They explained that if you loose all your clothes you have to keep playing, and you have to do a mandatory truth or dare if you loose a hand while naked. But if you don’t want to do the dare you have to give up an item of clothing permanently… they slice it up so you can’t wear it.
Well I didn’t think I was gonna loose, and I was very high. Anyway I said I wanted to play that version, the T or D version. But what I didn’t realize was that that meant the game wouldn’t end when somebody got naked, like in the normal version. In the T or D version, there’s no real place to end, and you’re not really allowed to quit.
So basically, that’s how I got trapped.
