Heavy breathing and pulse elevating, you hide in a bush, cold but sweating, waiting until the seeker finds you. You feel the fresh breeze of wind brush your face; somehow you are sweating, gazing as they pass by you, over and over, catching a hider each minute. A sweat drop runs down your face as you feel your muscles get tense; suddenly, you get the urge to pee. AHHHH! You try your best to hold it in as you recheck the time waiting for the game to be over until you just can’t hold it anymore and book it to the bathroom giving up the victory you could’ve had. This is an inconvenience that no one can avoid. Although it’s annoying there is logic behind this. When you are in a frozen/flight/fight response your body sends less blood to the routine function of your body this gives the feeling of peeing. There’s no way to avoid it, it is simply a rule of the game, bound to happen. The only way to win is by wearing a diaper, granting you victory at the price of your pride. So the next time, wear that diaper or use the restroom just before you play, otherwise, you are going to be left to thug it out.
