Hey, do not make fun of him. He lost an arm, yes, but this does not mean that you can treat him with any less respect than you’d treat someone who has not lost a limb. Seriously, this is not okay.

Did you ever lose a limb? No? Well, imagine you hurt your arm, and suddenly, you feel nothing. No pain, no numbness, nothing. You are confused and look… but there is no arm. Instead, there is blood, you can see a splintered bone and yet, you feel nothing. You want to cry, but again, you feel nothing. You try to take care of the wound, but really, how do you take care of an injury this huge. No band-aid in the world would help here. So, you are there, becoming familiar with the concept of not feeling anything, and suddenly it hurts. It hurts. You’d think that this is awful, but for the first few seconds, you are glad you feel something again. You realize that the adrenaline must have stopped you from feeling, and the pain returning is relief incarnate. Then the pain overwhelms you and you pass out.

It’s been two weeks. You are now no longer having an arm and are in recovery. Your job is gone as well, not like you’d be capable of doing it anyways with your lack of an limb, paying for a mechanical arm is way too expensive, and there is a lawsuit since the person who did this does not want to pay up for your bills. Life sucks, but you gotta pull through. Some times you contemplate suicide, wonder how it would feel to mix your aspirin with bleach and tobacco to drink that mix up. But you manage.

It’s been 2 months. You are having phantom pains on a weekly basis, where your arm hurts, even if it should not, since there is no arm. Your family is sick of you, taking all their attention with your lost limb and your suicide attempt. You take medicine and you hate it, the bills keep stacking up, your lawsuit ended in the jury blaming you for the accident and making you pay, not to mention about your incapability to get a job. You have fallen to drugs, painkillers that help you ease the day, not helping with your pain though, since there is no arm that can recieve the painkiller. You are certain that your anti-depressants are just placebos, you consider dropping them every single day. You gained weight, sports do not even remotely interest you anymore as about every single sport you enjoyed is no longer doable because you have no arm.

It’s been 2 years. You learned telekinesis. Nowadays, you just float things around with your nonexistant arm, you are capable of lifting things that you could not before, your arm would not be able to lift it or would surrender to the pain of thorns on the object, but then again: You have no arm. Your mental fortitude is incredible, most likely formed by the fact that you had to resist all self-destructive temptations, the drugs, and arrest by the police every single day. You live your day doing insane stuff, people around you think you work with someone to impress others, no one believes you. Merely your time on Reddit makes you capable of interacting with people who do not see you as crazy, a trickster or both. You stay away from r/occult, as they are mostly just a nerd club, but rather feel intrigued by r/gaming and r/Terraria. You considered posting a “I can levitate stuff with my lost limb, AMA” post at one point, but stopped it since you suspect no one would believe you anyways. There was an interesting topic on r/Terraria, about a real life biome in a light bulb. You wanted to express your concern that this is alright and does not need to be removed for relevancy, when a person makes a joke about your lost limb, and it all comes back.

The pain.

The loss.

The risks.

And you realize that it never stopped, and it never will. Because it does not matter if you can float around a limb of your own, as long as you have no arm.

You have no arm.
