[ WP ] Five random people from around the world suddenly and inexplicably appear in a room together .

I stumbled my way down the alley when I realized that I needed to relieve myself. I stood in front of the wall and was about to pee when my vision was blurred. Not really surprising when you were as drunk as I was, but it still made it hard to aim properly. The blurriness went away almost instantly, revealing an entirely new location to me. 
 
 The alley was long gone. I was in a large room, which was basically a large white box, and four other people were standing around looking just as confused as I was. They all looked at me, and I guess you could say I got caught with my pants down, so I hurried to pull them up, all the while trying to hold back the increasing need to use the bathroom. 
 
 “ What ’ s going on? ” an old man in a corner of the room asked to no one in particular. The others mumbled along with him, but I stayed silent, trying to figure out whether someone had slipped me something. It was pretty trippy when a late 20 something guy, an old man, a young boy, a 40 something woman, and a teenage girl all showed up randomly in a room together. 
 
 “ Welcome toooooooo! ” a voice boomed out from overhead. “ PeepHiJinksssssssss! The futuristic game show where five strangers, who are seemingly unrelated to each other, are put in a room together for 24 hours. ” 
 
 Shit, I thought to myself. I ’ d heard of this game show, and it didn ’ t usually end well. 
 
 “ If all five of you figure out why you were chosen, you each win $ 10,000,000. If you fail in this objective, then you get to duke it out in an epic bloodbath of a fight to be the sole survivor and winner of $ 1,000,000,000. You heard right! $ 1,000,000,000! Will you all work together and come out richer, or will you sabotage everyone and win your fortune through an epic bloodbath? Youuuuuuu decideeeeeeee! ” 
 
 My mind started to race. I was too drunk to really pay attention to the instructions, so I didn ’ t understand that my life might be at stake. The other four people ignored me, figuring I was going to be rather useless anyways. I was trying to find a place to take a leak, but to my horror I was stuck in the room, a bathroom or even a hole nowhere in sight. 
 
 I looked at the old man for a couple minutes, trying to distract myself, but I soon realized why he seemed familiar. He was my old teacher in grade school. 
 
 “ Hey Mr. Green, ” I shouted. He turned around, surprised that I knew whom he was. The others did so as well, all in shock that I might actually be useful. 
 
 “ How do you know who I am? ” Mr. Green asked. 
 
 “ You were my old teacher, ” I slurred. “ Come to think of it, that lady looks like someone who used to come by class when you taught. Wait, ” I said, laughing slightly. “ No way. Is that your wife? ” 
 
 “ No, ” he said. “ That was my ex-wife, and she was much older and uglier than this woman. ” 
 
 I wanted to sit down in the corner, but I wasn ’ t sure I could hold it if I did. I watched as the mid-aged lady slapped Mr. Green across the face. 
 
 “ You were a jackass, ” she said. “ And you still are. Apparently the surgery I got with your alimony was worth the money after all. ” 
 
 After that, I stopped paying attention to their fight. At this point, I was acting like a little kid, my legs crossed as I danced back and forth. I had to get out of here before I wet myself. My mind went into a drunken craze and started analyzing the young boy and teenage girl. All of us were somehow related, but I couldn ’ t quite piece those two together. 
 
 Then it hit me. 
 
 “ Mr. Green, are you retired? ” I asked. 
 
 He stopped arguing with his ex to answer. “ No, I teach Highschool. ” 
 
 “ How old are you two? ” I asked, looking over at the girl and boy. 
 
 “ 8, ” the boy said. 
 
 “ 18, ” the girl said. 
 
 “ Okay, hear me out guys, ” I started. “ Mr. Green over here has been having an affair with the teenage girl over there. God knows why she ’ s sleeping with him. The boy was hard to figure out, but then I realized I was focusing on you guys too much and not myself. He looks oddly familiar. I ’ m guessing he ’ s my son, as he looks an awful lot like my family as well as this girl I was hooking up with years ago. She disappeared one day; this might explain why. But we ’ re all supposed to be tied together, which tells me that the boy also knows the girl over here. I ’ ll go to guess she ’ s part of his mother ’ s family. ” 
 
 I stood there while they all stared back at me dumbfounded. I had a large grin on my face, until I realized how crazy what I said sounded. 
 
 “ Um…, ” came the voice from overhead. “ You guys win? Congratulations I guess. ” 
 
 The walls came apart around us and a man in a tuxedo came walking up, a microphone in his hand. He had been the announcer the whole time. He grabbed my hand and held it up in the air. 
 
 “ Smile, ” he told me. “ This is the first time this hasn ’ t ended in a bloodbath. Most people would rather take their chances for more money, plus they weren ’ t smart enough to figure it out. In fact, our scientists calculated the odds that you guys would be able to solve this, especially the odds of one person solving it for everyone. Lets just say they concluded that it would take a man with an IQ and mind like Sherlock Holmes to solve such a puzzle. Wave to everyone man, you ’ re on PeepHiJinks! ” 
 
 I stared into the camera with one thought on my mind. Before I could ask, I felt it coming. I stood in front of the camera, the host quickly backing away from me, as I peed my pants on live national TV.
