Index of Letters          Return to Story 81

        This story was written in 2013, about the same time Kim completed Letter/Story 73, the mud story. We were extending this section and splitting it into two volumes, so a number of new stories were written and add during this period. This one, Nude Bull Rush, was one of the new ones.

        Nude Bull Rush – now there is an interesting idea. The game, bull rush was popular when I was going to school but of course, we never played it nude. It was a rough game; often people would get minor injuries, in some cases broken bones too. Almost always, it was played by a mixture of boys and girls, with kids of all ages too. That is probably why eventually the schools began to ban it.
        Usually, the game started with one of the larger boys in the centre. He would quickly catch some team members to help him as they worked towards tagging all the runners. By catching a couple of younger children, they would catch the smaller children their own age while he could concentrate on the older children.  Another effective method I used with to select catchers and taggers. Us older, stronger ones would catch, then a smaller child would rush in and tag for us.  You will notice that I used both these strategies in this story.

        I also wanted to work on the idea of naked men and women in close contact with each other as they caught each other. Although there is no way this would lead to sex, there were some strong sexual undertones. Take for example Mike catching that woman and ending up with his head between her breasts. Was there something sexual going on there? Of course, there was. They both knew it too. Shanti did as well.
         I also wanted to inject humour into this story too. Take for example Mike catching his little daughter Kathy or Joseph catching that six-year-old. There is nothing sexual there. It was all part of the game for the kids too.

        Nude Bull Rush. If you hear of a game, let me know. I’d be in for it too.
