\"I<\/a>

I Know You Are But What am I? by Kris P. Kreme<\/p><\/div>\n

The only thing HOT in the Hall house is the tempers, grown up siblings bickering all the time, parents tolerating it all. But on a hot day in August, something unexpected settles the arguments for good after Emily uses an immature phrase one too many times.<\/p>\n

I know you are, but what am I?<\/p>\n

After one of her brothers answers the question with as crude a harsh response ever, calling her essentially an underused busty sex doll, Emily gets the surprise of a lifetime and possibly a whole new life, as she finds herself unable to move, standing there with a shocked gasp. And after her brothers’ friend Seth touches her, all he sees is just what she was called, and he is definitely ready to use her.<\/p>\n

Hot Shots is finally cooling off for another year, but before the heat fades, get ready for the most immature battle of words ever… leading to the most unexpected HEAT of the month!<\/p>\n

On a quiet suburban street, the Hall house is never quiet, and most of that is because having three children under one roof, all over eighteen, and never getting along means there’s bickering on top of often ridiculous bickering every hour of the day. <\/p>\n

Maria knows that as much as her husband Marcus, but since he is away at work much of the time, he usually gets the play-by-plays upon arriving home, which side of an ongoing war between brothers Josh and Joseph or sister Emily is winning.<\/p>\n

It’s as typical a day as always with Emily demanding her mother kill Josh and Joseph for hiding her bras. Maria only sighs and deals with it as usual, Joseph merely offering that the bras are in the laundry hamper, bras that size always dirty. And that only has Emily fuming even more as she runs off.<\/p>\n

It’s war as always, but there is one part of the wars that everyone knows to expect in this house, the overuse of a stupid little childish phrase that Emily tends to go to way too easily, often again and again.<\/p>\n

No matter what the bickering, insults, taunts, anything her brothers say, Emily always goes to the old I know you are, but what am I?<\/p>\n

But inexplicably, forces unknown to any of them might be at work today in the craziness of a crowded house like the Hall house. Because after arguing with her brothers again as they wait for their friend Seth to show up for gaming, one of them angrily answers her stupid question in as intense a way as ever has been said, using words even they know would get them in trouble with their parents.<\/p>\n

After going back and forth with the phrase too many times, Josh finally just lets Emily have it, calling her a slutty big-boobed sex doll, something so severe and crude it has Emily naturally gasping in shock… but the gasp doesn’t entirely end, and Emily suddenly realizes she can’t move, can’t blink, can’t speak at all.<\/p>\n

Josh and Joseph continue their gaming in the family room ignoring her, assuming she is being overdramatic and of course wanting all the attention on her. Assuming she will stand there like that until their parents are back from the store, the boys think nothing of it until Seth arrives, and he suggests a way to break her little hissy fit act.<\/p>\n

Figuring Emily will of course freak out if he acts like he is about to touch her, Seth does just that, shocked by the fact she doesn’t change expressions or move at all… maybe a little more shocked as he then asks what IT is to the brothers, even suggesting IT is some new super-realistic sex doll.<\/p>\n

Emily trapped within her own mind realizes that anyone that touches her only then sees her as just what she was insulted by after speaking her silly immature little arguing phrase… but will Seth soon actually use her just like the sex doll everyone is destined to assume she is? And has she really become one? <\/p>\n

Every argument has to end, but not every immature disagreement has quite the mature enjoyable ending this little twisted tale cums with!<\/p>\n

Hot Shots goes out with a bang, and Emily might be the one banged the most from now on.<\/p>\n
