So, here’s the story: a couple of weeks ago, my husband and I were in the bathtub together, unwinding from a long day. As I laid there soaking up the warm bubbles, I felt something peculiar under my arm. I moved my arm to the side and my breath hitched in my throat – there was a fake body bag in the bathtub with us!
My husband and I both screamed, startled by the sight. We had no idea how the body bag had gotten there – the bathroom door was securely locked and nothing would have been able to fit through the window given its size. I was surprised at how real the body bag looked – there was an eerie realism to the material that literally made my blood run cold.
After a few minutes of deliberation, my husband figured that the bag had belonged to one of his friends – a practical joker who he had invited to the house earlier that day. We both sighed with relief that there wasn’t a real body in that bag. It must have been an incredibly life-like wax dummy that his friend had planted in the bathtub as a joke.
This prank had undoubtedly been the limit, though. We couldn’t believe that he would go to such lengths to scare us. Nevertheless, a part of me had to admire the effort he had put into executing the gag. Fake body bag in a bathtub was definitely a prank of a lifetime and something I would never forget.
The incident made us both laugh after we had composed ourselves. A fake body in the tub was definitely a shock, but it was a reminder to my husband and I to take time off and relax. We had gotten away with a huge scare, but also a wonderful respite – something that we would never forget.
However, I knew that I wouldn’t be able to get into the bathtub without relentlessly double-checking for such surprises ever again. Luckily, we had both come out of the experience unscathed, but I would always think twice before stepping into the tub – especially since we never found out how the body bag got there in the first place!
I’d heard stories of practical gags that went terribly wrong before, and this was a great reminder to take it easy. Who knows what else may be lying around the house – so the next time I’m in the bathtub, I will be keeping my eyes peeled (just in case).
