The beach

Inspired by the water retaining customs of the Kalahari bushmen, a share house comprised of only boys decided to conserve bodily fluids by abstaining from wanking during the harsh Australian Summer. Along with water retention, they sought the sharp mental alertness known well by great hunters of the desert. People walking by commented on the atmosphere of imminent danger radiating from the house. Tall weeds established themselves in the front yard and the blinds were constantly drawn. Neighbors never saw the boys anymore and only heard strange calls during the night indicating that the residence remained inhabited. Most curiously, as summer progressed they forgot language, developing a unique form of telepathy; only communicating verbally through clicks and grunting noises akin to their Kalahari muses. Long gone were memories of life before the custom as they descended completely into their own world.
