0:29

for details. I'm

0:32

relating this via a voice to text

0:34

program because as

0:37

you'll soon find out, I

0:41

can't use my hands. I'm

0:43

not a bad guy. I take care of my hands.

0:45

I glove them when it's cold. I don't stick them

0:48

in a fire or on a stone. Sure, I

0:50

bite my nails, but who fucking doesn't? Has

0:53

about a single hand uprising in the

0:55

history of mankind. So I think it's safe to

0:57

say that they don't mind nail biting. Probably

1:00

getting a rough haircut for them, the worst.

1:04

Anyway, I keep them lotion or probably

1:06

more than you do. You know, if you catch my drift.

1:10

The point is my hands. My

1:14

hands aren't being put through the shit on a daily basis.

1:16

I wouldn't say that I treat them with respect. I

1:18

mean, their fucking hands. But

1:20

I'm not testing the limits of their integrity

1:22

by any means. So. I

1:26

honestly, truly do not know why they've

1:28

chosen to not only betray me, but

1:30

selfishly assuming autonomy. But

1:34

actively seek out my downfall during

1:36

the brief periods of this self

1:39

actualization. It

1:42

all started when I was lying in bed, listening to ASMR late at

1:44

night after having woken

1:46

up from sleep. It had

1:48

been a fairly unrestful sleep. And despite

1:50

the 20 milligrams of melatonin I'd taken the night

1:53

before, and I

1:55

was still super tired. I figured I'd chill out in the

1:57

dark for a while since I didn't need to be anywhere

1:59

in the morning. I

2:01

was going fine. I was listening to some fast

2:04

tapping triggers with rainfall, sounds

2:07

in the background,

2:10

and my hands suddenly just barked

2:13

up in a sense

2:15

that I felt them flex out and

2:17

up without my prompting. And first

2:20

I figured there was some kind of relaxation to the ASMR,

2:22

you know, some kind of reaction that the

2:24

tingles had evoked and there was some kind of new

2:27

sensory reaction, but then

2:30

the hands clenched. Not all

2:32

the way into fists, but into rigid claw forms. The

2:36

result effect was admittedly menacing and

2:38

I immediately tried to reassume control,

2:40

but I couldn't move them, couldn't

2:42

influence their actions whatsoever. I

2:44

shook my head from side to side until I dislodged

2:46

my earbuds, needing complete focus on

2:48

the situation at hand.

2:52

By this point my hands had started doing really

2:54

weird shit. The fingers

2:57

furled and unfurled sporadically, the hands

2:59

flexing and unflexing and bobbing forward

3:01

and backwards on my wrist. It

3:03

was bizarre, uncanny, and made me a little sick. Not

3:06

merely the sight of them moving on their

3:08

own volition, but doing so in such a

3:10

weirdly articulate way. I also

3:12

got the sense, and I don't know

3:14

how else to best relate this, that they

3:17

were communicating with each other. Each

3:22

hand was displaying its own manual mannerisms,

3:25

its own personality. The left hand seemed to

3:27

be the more rational one, if rational could

3:29

even be applied to such a situation, whereas

3:32

the right hand, with its wild, darting,

3:34

unpredictable movements, seemed to be the more

3:36

impulsive and chaotic inclined ones. The

3:38

situation became truly frightening when, for just a

3:40

moment, they ceased their movements

3:43

and turned towards me as if they'd

3:45

reached a consensus on some grave matter

3:47

in which I was the

3:49

central topic. Then,

3:51

without further acknowledgment from me, they

3:54

resumed their discourse, leaving me

3:56

terrified, wondering what the hell was going

3:58

on. Since

4:01

previous attempts to exert control over them had

4:03

been futile, I instead stood up.

4:06

I don't deny that I felt a great relief at

4:09

still having control over my legs. Apparently,

4:11

the bizarre autonomy was limited to my

4:13

hands. As calmly as I could

4:15

manage, I walked from my bedroom to the hall,

4:17

and for a moment I thought

4:20

that I had failed to remove my earbuds

4:22

due to the still remaining sound of rainfall.

4:24

But a flash of lightning through a window downstairs

4:27

showed me that the weather had developed to

4:29

match the artificial atmosphere I had created for

4:31

myself. Also to

4:33

eerily fit the nightmare circumstances. With

4:36

only the intermittent lighting flashes to eliminate my

4:38

progress, I made my way down the hall

4:41

to the stairs and descended them with faint

4:43

casualness. All the while my

4:45

hands flexed and clenched and splayed themselves,

4:47

engaging in some frenzied debate reaching the

4:49

landing, and I briefly considered opening my

4:51

front door with my feet. I

4:54

had grown quite good at that when necessary whilst

4:56

carrying food, but decided against

4:58

it. The weather was only worsening, and

5:00

who knows what action my hands would

5:02

have taken if they suspected my plans to

5:04

subdue them somehow. Crossing my

5:06

living room, where shadows danced and cavorted,

5:09

with similar uncanniness to the movements of my

5:12

hands, I reached the kitchen. The

5:14

window above the sink showed a temp

5:16

to a storm outside, lightning strikes happening

5:19

with unnerving frequency and alarmingly close proximity

5:21

to the house. Setting aside

5:23

this new fear of having my house obliterated by

5:25

a bolt of lightning, I returned my

5:27

focus to the more immediate threat. My

5:30

goal? The

5:32

freezer. I

5:34

always kept my freezer as cold as possible,

5:38

especially during summer, because I like to stick my

5:40

face in it when I come home and from

5:42

the outside for a quick cool-off. Seeing

5:44

as how I couldn't call anyone, I'm not that

5:47

articulate with my feet, I figured

5:49

my next best option was to freeze my hands

5:51

and hope that they'd be subsequently chilled enough for

5:53

me to do something more permanent. I

5:55

did not gain control of the situation entirely. After

5:58

three attempts to grip it with my toes, I'm not that articulate with

6:00

my feet. I finally grasped the fridge door and flung it open. And

6:02

a sudden burst of cold air made my hands stop

6:05

their activity and turned to me, and a

6:08

mutual moment of recognition sprang to action.

6:10

Before I could plunge them into the mountains of frozen

6:13

vegetables and meat, they seized me by the throat

6:15

and squeezed. For a moment I

6:17

was dumb, helpless, my mind absolutely frozen by the

6:19

horror of it all, but something of my composure

6:21

came back to me as I realized that while

6:24

I could not control the hands themselves, I

6:26

could still control my arms, the muscles therein,

6:29

obviously much stronger than those of my hands

6:31

and wrists. With little effort I pulled

6:33

the hands away, but the devilish

6:35

claws had sunk my thankfully short nails

6:37

into my neck, leaving savage,

6:39

though non-fatal, tears in the skin.

6:43

Before they could muster up another attack in my throat

6:45

or scratch my eyes out, I pressed them into the

6:47

frozen depths of the freezer and held

6:49

them there, while they flicked and spasmed

6:51

with unrestrained vemons. And these

6:53

fifteen minutes must have passed before I felt them

6:56

grow still. By that

6:58

point I had lost pretty much all the feeling in them and

7:00

could only tell them that they had ceased

7:02

their movements by the lack of vibrations in my arms.

7:05

Carefully I withdrew the hands and felt both triumph

7:08

and dread at seeing them blued

7:11

and frosted. I

7:13

didn't want to lose the hands, but in the moment I was

7:17

happy to see them lifeless and rigid. Since

7:21

I still have no control over them, I was forced to grab

7:23

an ice pack. I always kept ready with my

7:25

teeth and carried it back upstairs in my

7:27

mouth. I was just placed it over

7:29

my hands, and for the moment

7:31

ignoring the mounting dread of not having any feeling

7:34

whatsoever in the appendages. I mean, if

7:36

I lose them, so be it. This

7:39

is all I really have to say so far. I

7:42

don't know why I've been the subject of this madness, but

7:44

I hope it's over. If

7:46

not, then I

7:49

don't know. If they awake,

7:51

then I'll have to subdue them with the freezer

7:53

again. I don't know how many more times I

7:56

can do that without causing serious irreversible damage. If

7:58

there is anyone else, then I'll have to do it. out there who has dealt

8:01

with such a thing before, please contact me. I

8:04

could really use a helping

8:08

hand. Update. I'm

8:11

okay now. My

8:15

hands thought out just fine.

8:18

My control has been returned to me. No

8:20

need to worry or reach out. We've

8:22

taken care of the problem. I
