The invitation to go skinny dipping was indistinguishable from a fraudulent one. It was convincing to say the least, but Devin wasn’t surprised to find out that no one else would show up at the pool.

This college friend group had always tested Devin. For instance, they tested his strength back in September when they taped him to the couch while he was asleep, or in January when they covered the entire bathroom floor with over 100 cups full of water to test his agility.

This time, Devin made a test of his own. He bellowed a maniacal laugh.

“MWAHAHAHAHA!”

But Devin quickly realized that his chuckling could make him look suspicious, so he played it off like there was something stuck in his throat.

“MUAH- *cough* HA *cough* *clears throat*. Mmm, that’s better.”

A couple minutes go by, and no one showed up. He was getting angry, mostly at the fact that his fingers were getting extremely pruney.

Finally, he heard voices, and not the ones in his head; they were of his friends. James, Tyler, and Beano walked into the backyard from the side of the house.

James spoke to Devin, “Sorry we’re late, I was having trouble finishing my homework. Multiplication tables are harder than you think.”

“So are the girls coming?” Devin asked.

“Not really. In fact, we were about to prank you,” James said.

“Interesting,” Devin said

“Beano, would you mind stealing Devin’s clothes?” Tyler asked.

“No problemo,” Beano said ecstatically. He yoinked Devin’s clothes from the pool chair and the gang darted off into the wilderness, thinking Devin would run after them.

A few yards into the jungled area, the gang saw a woman standing next to a giant, white box-like structure.

She shouted, “what y’all kids runnin’ from?”

“We stole our friends clothes as a prank!” Tyler replied.

“That’s really funny! I bet if you hide in this giant box, he will never find y’all OR his clothes!”

They collectively smiled at the idea. They did a 3-way high five, but it was at a weird angle, so they damaged their wrists.

Severely injured, the gang limped into the box, and the woman sealed the door.

Little did James, Tyler, and Beano know that the woman was actually an under cover animal trainer hired by Devin to put the boys into the big box. After a few seconds, the woman released thousands of clothes-eating moths into the contained area. No matter how much the gang swatted the moths away, there would always be more. The flying insects accumulated onto their clothing and began the munching session.

Screaming and buzzing could be heard from inside for miles, and the woman and Devin smirked to themselves.

After a few minutes, the door to the box was opened, and millions of moths and their little moth babies zoomed out. Inside lied three fear-stricken boys, their clothes eaten off by the buggies that had just exited.

They were naked as the day they were born, but Devin did not consider the fact that at the end of his plan, he would be naked as well.

“Gorsh!” Devin exclaimed.
