Titusville

This is my entry for the 2024 National Nude Day Contest.

This story begins a few months before National Nude Day and builds up to the event. While there are references to both current and historical events, there is no descriptive sexual activity in this story.

Titusville is a small village of 100 or so people. It is located 30 miles East of Westeria, 25 miles West of Hiland or depending on your perspective; the middle of nowhere. Seeing the exit sign James Long turned on his signal, took the exit and started slowing. When he stopped at the intersection he entered the address of their new residence into the GPS system. He was told to turn left and proceed south for one quarter mile. After 3,000 miles of restaurants, motels, camp grounds and the open road he and his wife Brenda were ready to be at their destination. Their 18 year old daughter Amy was watching a movie on her tablet in the back seat.

20 year old Johnathon Thomas was sitting in the shade reading a book when the Jeep pulled up to the pump. It is an old style garage/gas station, a remnant of days when attendants checked your water and oil along with the air in your tires and cleaned your windshield while pumping your gas. Johnathon was covering for the owner who was on a parts run. Marking his place, Johnathon set his book down, then stood and stretched his 5 foot 10 inch lanky frame. He then started walking over to the Jeep that had just pulled in.

Mr. Long was getting out of the Jeep when he saw the young man walking towards him. He was surprised to hear "Afternoon sir, how can I help you." James told him "Fill it with regular" and got back in the Jeep. He closed his door and rolled down the windows saying "Can you believe it. A full service station out here". His wife Brenda was bent over searching the floorboard for the contents of her purse that had spilled when James had swerved to avoid hitting a coyote. Sitting up she asked her husband "What are you mumbling about?" Then seeing the nude youth walking over over with a squeegee to clean the windshield she said "Already?" Amy, hearing the comment looked up from her phone to see what her mother was talking about. When she did, she saw a guy standing there as bare as the day he was born. Taking a better look she said "No wonder he is nude I mean, how would he fit THAT into a pair of jeans." Her mother hissed "AMY LYNN LONG!" It was not that Johnathon was that big, it was just he was a show-er not a grower as his manhood swung to and fro when he walked. Amy said "Well it's true Mom."

Once the gas was pumped and the windows cleaned Johnathon walked up to the window and told Mr. Long the total. He handed Johnathon his credit card which he took and went inside the station. Returning a few minutes later he handed Mr. Long his card and receipt. When he asked where they were headed Amy stuck her head out of her window and told him they were moving into town. "So, are you the new residents of 135 Hull Street" He asked. When Mr. Long replied in the affirmative the youth told them they had just finished remodeling and updating the residence. He also let them know their moving pod was sitting in the driveway. He then extended his hand saying "I'm Johnathon, welcome to Titusville Mr. Long." James shaking the youths hand replied "Thank you Johnathon, this is my wife Brenda and our daughter Amy".

Amy and her Mom said "Glad to meet you Johnathon" in unison.

As they pulled away from the gas pumps her father said "By the way Amy, the Village of Titusville is clothing optional."

From the back seat Amy exclaimed "What? You mean nobody has to wear clothes anywhere in this town if they don't want to?"

Brenda long said "That is correct." Then continued telling her "When I interviewed for the position the owners were trying to come up with an idea on how to sell the community. When I was explaining the two year gap in my employment I told them we had been living in Spain and had just recently returned to the United States. While discussing my experiences there and adjusting to different culture I mentioned the different laws. When I was then was asked to elaborate I explained the concept of the Spanish and their personal rights. That's when I was told about the Village and offered the position. Your Dad can work from almost anywhere so we discussed it. When I accepted the job we decided to make a road trip out of it with a surprise ending."

Pulling her T-shirt off which happened to be the only thing she was wearing, Amy threw it at her mother saying "Great Surprise! I love it."

They had taken a series of turns when the GPS unit finally announced "your destination is on the right" so James Long pulled over and parked the Jeep. The three looked at the freshly painted white house with a nice sized yard. There were lots of windows and a big screened in porch across the front of the house, nothing like the apartment they had been living in. James would have pulled into the driveway and gotten off the street but the moving pod was in the way. Brenda called the number she had been given and informed the lady that answered who she was and they were at the house.

She said they would be right there.

They had gotten out of the Jeep and were walking around stretching their legs when a pick-up truck pulled up and a couple about their age got out. They walked over to the Longs where Brian Thomas introduced himself and his wife Susan. James then introduced himself, his wife Brenda and their naked daughter Amy. Susan looked at Brenda and asked "So, when did you tell her?" Brenda replied "Leaving the gas station after a naked young man named Johnathon pumped our gas."

Susan laughed and said "That would have been our son. Come on, I'll show you the house." Leaving James and Brian talking in the front yard the three of them climbed the steps to the porch. Susan unlocked the front door and handed the keys to Brenda saying "These are yours now." As they walked through the house Susan was describing its features.

Susan told them the utilities were on because of the remodeling and they could change the name when they got settled in.

Susan said "I'm guessing y'all are kind of tired of restaurants and fast food so you are invited for supper at our house." "Brian is telling James the same thing right now or should be anyway. We're doing ribs on the grill".

When they walked back outside Brian asked "So are you ready for some ribs on the grill?" James and Brenda looked at each other and Brenda asked "Where, what time and what would you like us to bring?" Susan wrote the address on the back of her card and handing it to Brenda said "Be there around 6:30 and all you need to bring is your appetite."

Brenda told her daughter to choose a room while your Dad and I start bringing things in. Being a typical teenager she located the master bedroom then claimed the one furthest away. She then started helping her parents bring the rest of their gear in. As she was helping unload she was also putting her stuff in the room she chose. When everything was unloaded Amy helped her Mom put things from the ice chest into the refrigerator.

After she aired up her mattress and rolling out her sleeping bag Amy grabbed her toiletries and a towel then took a shower.

While Amy was in the shower all she could think about was how she could pretty much be bare 24/7. Yes when they first arrived in Spain she had been a shocked to see naked people an the beach. Sonja's parents had explained "You can basically be naked anywhere you want outside of town." It took Amy a bit to adjust, but adjust she did. It got where she and her best friend Sonja were rarely dressed. Even her Mom and Dad got where they were comfortable being bare at the beach and around the apartment.

She later found Germany and France were not much different.

Susan went to the local store and got a bag of ice while Brian started the grill. When she got back she asked him if Johnathon was home and he replied "Not yet." Looking at him Susan said "Let's not tell him about Amy okay?" Brian nodded his agreement. A few minutes later Johnathon came walking through the house and into the back yard. He told his parents "I was watching the station for Phil today and met the Longs when they stopped and got gas. They're a little younger than you and have a daughter named Amy that's about my age." He then paused a minute and said "You know what's funny? I didn't hear the usual

OH MY GOD, HE'S NAKED! WHY IS HE NAKED?

that I usually hear when people first see me. I mean I might as well have been dressed as far as they were concerned."

His Mom said "They lived in Spain for a while, things are a little different there."

Brian told him "We invited them for supper. They will be here around 6:30."

Johnathon replied "That gives me time clean up then" and walked back into the house.

A little after 6:00 o'clock Amy walked into the living room and said she was ready. James started the Jeep while Brenda entered the address in the GPS unit. Their destination was a minute or so away. Brenda said "If we knew the town we could walk and save gas."

Arriving at the Thomas residence James parked and looking in the rear view mirror said "The only thing missing is Sonja." Brenda looked at him and said "I was just thinking the same thing." Susan had seen the Longs pull up and when Amy got out of the Jeep she met them on the porch and quietly told Brenda "I did not tell Johnathon about Amy. Kind of like you not telling her about our village."

Speaking louder she said "Brian is in the backyard and Johnathon is cleaning up. Just walk straight through the house and out the sliding glass doors."

Hearing James tell him hello Brian turned around to answer. Even though he had met Amy earlier it was still a surprise to see the naked girl standing next to her Father.

When Johnathon walked out of the house and saw Amy standing next to his Dad he stopped mid-stride. He couldn't believe his eyes. That green eyed, raven haired beauty from the gas station was standing right in front of him as bare as he was. Here was the whole 5 foot 2 inch package of her in the flesh, so to speak. His mother said "Let's make the introductions a little more formally shall we." She said "Johnathon this is Mr. and Mrs. Long and their daughter Amy whom I think you met earlier; this is our son Johnathon."

She then asked Brenda for a hand getting the food.

Johnathon was still standing there dumbstruck when Amy walked over and said "Glad to see you again Johnathon." Johnathon found his voice and said "Uh yeah." Amy laughed and "Come on, let's see if our moms need some help." Walking into the kitchen Amy asked "Anything we can do?" Susan handed her a bowl of Potato Salad and Johnathon the tossed salad saying "You two take that out." Then asked Brenda "Drinks?" Brenda told her "Beer for James and Tea for Amy" then asked "Red wine?" Susan asked "Sweet or Dry?" Brenda replied "Dry." Susan then took a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon from the refrigerator and set it on the counter. Looking around Brenda asked "Where is that golden buzzer??

They were talking when Johnathon stuck his head in the door and told them "Dad said the ribs are about ready."

When they finished eating Susan looked over at Amy and asked "Would you mind telling us how you are so comfortable sitting here in you birthday suit with people you just met a few hours ago? I got the basic info from your Mom when we interviewed her but I would like to hear your story, if you don't mind."

Amy looked at her and said "No problem. Dad came home one day and said we were going to Spain. He did not say it would be for almost 2 years or that it would be immediately. I met Sonja the day we moved into our apartment. She was my age, lived two doors down and we became best friends. She brought her family down to meet us and it was spontaneously decided to have a picnic. The Mediterranean Sea was only three blocks away so we changed into swim suits, packed a lunch and headed to the beach.

"You should have seen our faces when we got to the beach and saw the all the topless and nude people. Of course there were people wearing swim suits too. They were all mixed together and nobody seemed to care what anybody else was doing. Seeing our faces Sonja's parents explained Spanish law interpreted infringing on peoples personal rights as being allowed to be natural in any natural area. Then they set out their towels, undressed and sat down. Oh yeah, culture shock big time. Of course living so close to the beach meant Sonja and I spent most of our time there. It took a few days of Sonja's prodding before I shed my suit. After I did not die of embarrassment and nobody looked at me twice; I relaxed and had fun. After a day of naked carefree gallivanting, I was hooked. From then on it was sandals, swim suit cover, no swim suit of course, towel and tote bag to and from the beach.

"After a bit our families got together at the beach again. Mom and Dad had loosened up by then so they bared it all also. Sonja and I had gotten in the habit of not getting dressed when we went back and forth between our apartments Amy then looked over at her Dad and said "I'm still not sure how you survived having two bare-assed teenage girls underfoot all the time."

He told her "It wasn't always easy."

Her Mom said "I had to remind him a few times that you were checking out the boys as much as they were eyeing you."

Amy laughed at that then continued her story saying "When school started Sonja and I got all dressed up for the first day. Had to look good for the boys you know. I mean we dressed to the nines and I was miserable. My bra strap was like a rubber band around my chest and the elastic in my underwear dug in.

After being naked pretty much all summer we both found clothes to be confining. Besides, most of the boys in our classes had seen us naked on the beach and visa-versa anyway. A sarong or sundress with no underwear became our uniform and we shed those the minute we got home. With the two of us pushing each other we both did well in school that year. Once school was out Sonja and I had went right back to where we left off. Naked 24/7. I went with Sonja's family on Holidays and she came with us on trips.

When Mom and Dad said we had to come back to the states that fall I was devastated. I knew I was not going to have the freedom I had in Spain when we came back to the states.

"Coming home was another culture shock as I readjusted to the 'norms' of America once again. Yeah, I could be naked in our apartment and sunbathe on the balcony, I mean how could you undo that. Sonja and I keep up with each other on social media and e-mails but it's not the same. I miss sunning and playing volleyball on the beach, swimming in the ocean, taking tours on bicycles or horses and going on hiking trips. Sonja sends me pictures of her adventures from time to time. All the things I enjoyed in Spain I couldn't do where we lived. Well I could do some of them, just not nude like I was used to." Then she said "Now though"... and left it hanging

They had finished eating while Amy was talking. Johnathon was sitting there looking at her in awe then said "I wish I could say the same."

Susan said "Wait a minute. Let's clean the table and refresh drinks before we start that story."

Johnathon stood and started clearing the table. Amy quickly started helping saying "I need to move around after eating all that." Once the table was cleared and wiped down, drinks refilled and bathroom breaks taken Susan said "First 'a little background', in a nutshell, we won the lottery, bought this town and moved here."

When they sat back down Johnathon said "We moved here after my freshman year of High School. Dad waited for the school year to end so we wouldn't have to change in the middle of my sister Kathy's senior year. It was kind of depressing when we first got here. We walked around looking at all the empty and dilapidated buildings and half of the town was burned or charred. Dad showed me his original ideas saying he had plans but it was going to take a while to see results. Seeing Mom and Dad's dreams on paper I spent the summer helping him get things lined out and then working with the crews he hired. What nobody knew at the time though, were the lessons Mom and Dad were going to have to teach some people first.

"The first day of school was the first time I met the majority of my classmates as most of them lived on farms in the outlying areas. The first week was pretty quiet with everyone getting into their schedules and reconnecting with friends. I was pretty much ignored at first then I started catching some flack about being the new guy and such. I pretty much ignored it as it comes with the territory.

"When I walked out of school Monday afternoon I was grabbed from behind and a feed bag was pulled over my head. I fought but there were too many of them for me to break free from. I discovered later I was taken into the gym where they tied my hands together and pulled the rope over a basketball goal. I was standing on my tip toes when a couple of people took scissors and cut my clothes off me then cut them up entirely. There I was; hooded, strung up, butt naked and wondering what was coming next when I was sprayed with water, lathered up then shaved from the neck down. A couple of them held me up and spread my legs to make sure nothing was missed. I believe they would shaved my head if they could have figured out how to do it without taking the hood off.

"Then it got quiet and I was scared about what was going to happen next. When nothing did, I got mad. The longer I was there the madder I got. After what seemed like an eternity I heard a female voice yell 'OH MY GOD' and what sounded like someone running my way. A teacher named Mrs. Birch came to my rescue. She untied the rope letting my arms down then came over and removed the hood and untied my hands. She kept asking me if I was hurt and did she need to call 911 for an ambulance. Once I assured her I was fine I used the bag they had used as my hood to gather up my stuff and what was left of my clothes then thanked her once again for freeing me and headed for the door. Mrs. Birch said you can't leave like that you're naked. I told her it didn't look like I had much of a choice in the matter did I."

"The next time I saw her I apologized for seeming ungrateful to her and thanked her again for helping me.

"When I got home Mom heard the screen door close and came out of the kitchen saying I was just about to send out a search... then seeing me yelled: WHAT THE HELL?" I looked at her and told her what happened adding that I would probably still be there if Mrs. Birch hadn't found me. Mom then went into 'mom mode'. I went to my room and put on a pair of shorts while she called Dad. When he got home I had to explain it all again. Dad made some phone calls but really didn't get anywhere.

"After supper we were talking about how to handle the situation when my phone chirped. There was a group text from an unknown number telling everyone to look at my social media page. About that time Mom and Dad's phone announced messages also. The message had been sent to every contact in my phone and a lot of numbers I did not know. I got my laptop out, logged on and checked my page. There was a post saying if you want to see the real Johnathon Thomas just

look here

with a hyperlink. I clicked it and it took me to a video taken that afternoon.

I did not realize Mom and Dad were watching over my shoulder until I heard Mom gasp.

"The video started with me tied up under the basketball goal. Everybody you could see in the video was wearing jeans, a gray hoodie with the hood up and a full face mask so you could not tell who they were. Well you could tell some were female by their stature but the hoods covered their hair color and length. The video left nothing to the imagination with lots of close-ups of my clothes being cut off and then being shaved. When I looked at the stats and saw the video had already had been viewed many times and even downloaded a few times I wanted to die. Everybody I knew or who knew me pretty much saw that video. Dad told me to download it for evidence before it was deleted, so I saved it on a thumb drive.
