The door to the tree house creaked when I opened it. “Oh no!” I thought to myself when I looked in. it was Tom and Billy, my brothers teenage brother’s bully friends. I hated them. “Where was Gabe?” I thought. As I feared they grabbed me and pulled me into the tree house before I could back out.
“Truth or dare?” Tom asked. An awful chill began to envelope me. I knew what that meant, a sick sadistic game they had thought up to pleasure themselves when my brother wasn’t around. I had told Mara and Jake, but they were more interested in the foster care check than actually parenting us.
They put me in a chair and Billy held my arms and smiled as Tom asked again, “truth or dare, Carl?” A tear began to run down my cheek. I knew that if I chose “dare” I would be dared to jump out of the 35 foot high tree house. The last time I jumped out I broke my leg and took a beating from Jake. If I refused to jump, though, I would be given the opportunity to either take “truth” or be thrown out. But if I said “truth” I knew he would ask me if I was gay. If I said no he would tell me to prove it, which meant that I would have to perform oral sex on them. If I cried then I wasn’t gay, and if I didn’t cry then I was gay. And if I was gay then they would throw me out of the window of the tree house anyway. And if I said I was gay I would still be forced to prove it by performing oral sex on them.
I began to shake and sob. I thought to myself, “where is that God I hear those people singing about in those Churches next to the liquor stores? Where are you God? Why is this happening to me?” Tom unzipped his pants first. He wasn’t even going to give me a choice. Just then the door squeaked open. It was Gabe.
“Hey, what are you guys doing?” he asked slowly before pausing. “Oh… You’re both dead.”

I mean this in the nicest way possible. Even with the warning at the top, I find this to be too graphic and detailed for a Christian website. Would you consider thinking outside the box and writing in more general terms? The ending disturbed me as well.

disturbing yes, a might bit graphic, though truth is in it and these things happen, a good reminder that the truth in life isnt always pleasant.
