Excited to see what other powers the Cards of the Universe system had in store for me, I continued to draw cards from the deck until I had reached my limit of five. However, as soon as I selected my final card, the entire deck disappeared from my hand.
My powers now included a 10% speed boost, uncontrollable diarrhea, massive sweats, and a 10% increase in IQ. I couldn't believe my luck; I had been hoping for something powerful and game-changing, but now I felt like I had been dealt a mixed bag of blessings and curses.
As I sat in class, my body started to feel the effects of the cards. I was sweating profusely, and my stomach began to churn. Suddenly, I felt the urge to go to the bathroom, but I knew I wouldn't make it much longer without releasing the diarrhea that threatened to erupt from me.
"John, sit down already," the teacher scolded, clearly annoyed.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, but can I use the bathroom?" I begged, desperation creeping into my voice.
"Class just started, John. Can't you wait?" she demanded.
"I really can't, ma'am. I'm going to shit myself," I blurted out, my face burning with embarrassment.
The class erupted into snickers and giggles, and my friend Dylan put his hand over his face and sighed.
"Fine, go," the teacher relented, clearly exasperated.
I bolted out of the classroom, clenching my ass cheeks tightly together, and dashed into the restroom. My heart sank as I saw that all the stalls were occupied, and I knew it was too late. I had already shit myself.
