The Laughing Closet
Added 2025-04-11 05:22:15 +0000 UTCI have a memory of a strange story told to me when I was very young. I have a distinct recollection of being around my father and several of his co-workers when I was probably around 7 or 8 and I was most likely being precocious, as I tended to be around adults. One of the men, in an attempt to get me to behave, told me I'd better be careful or I'd get sent "to the spanking closet". I think I was kind of fascinated by this idea, because I remember not believing him and the man insisting that it existed. In hindsight, this was a rather strange and kind of kinky thing to say to a child. I'm surprised I didn't develop a spanking fetish instead of a tickle one.
I thought the idea of a "Laughing Closet" could be kind of a fun one. A college student is caught cheating, and the wicked professors offer an alternative to expulsion: an ordeal in the infamous closet of laughter. The unexpected rule is that the victim has to not only be tickled silly but has to hold something over his head without dropping it or the time of his punishment is extended. I've always been a sucker for the trope of someone having to hold something up while tickled.
I did two versions of this one, one with more dark and sinister lighting. Hope you get a few laughs out of it!
