Another childhood nightmare for many people is the fear of “ghost hands” that move and collapse on the ground. Preying on people's fear
But when we look back..
Shouldn't the person who's afraid be that hand? They're small and can't see anything. I don't hear anything. You can only feel the touch on your finger, which is known as one of the most sensitive organs. It exists because of instinct. and only the final desire of the mind
And this is the story of the left hand. On a mission to adventure in a big world without being seen or heard, with only five fingers as tools. Will he succeed or not?
“..Thump!”
Earless to hear anything No eyes to see No brain to think Only instinct responds to vibrations. A lump of bruised, swollen flesh along with its five appendages fell from a high place after struggling for a long time. before lying aimlessly on the cold ground.
“Creak! Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
A sudden tremor Stimulate all five limbs to twitch. In one instant, his entire hand rushed towards the narrow space in front of him.
“King!!”
Without warning, something mounted on one of the appendages crashed into the edge of the hiding place, causing a vibration that reverberated and a loud sound filled the room.
"..Hey, did you hear that rattling sound just now?"
The little lump hurriedly rushed to take cover.
“Hey, like I just said. Just this, I'm afraid I'll die. Hurry and finish your work and get out of here.”
Even if you don't understand But little hands know better. that there were two people in the room and is coming in to do something So it waited for a while. Throw your paw on the ground. Using his middle finger, he stroked the object. worn on the ring finger It was a smooth, cool band, not much different from the surface it touched.
"Hey, where's your left hand gone?"
The entire room fell silent for a moment. The two young men only looked at each other suspiciously. As the lump moved its finger against the metal edge of its shelter, it made a loud noise.
“King! Hey, hey, hey, hey.”
"Hoy!!"
A sudden sound of metal made the two young men jump and cry out in shock. The lump of flesh stopped. before carefully retreating to the base
"I'm..I'm sure I told you already."
"..It's not that. It's just the sound..I guess."
The two young men looked around the room in confusion. The lump saw the moment. So I tried knocking again excitedly.
“King! Hey, hey, hey, hey.”
"Hoy! I'm not here anymore!”
"Hey, wait a minute!"
The two young men walked out quickly without closing the door. The entire room was trembling again, and the left hand instinctively crawled out from its hiding place slowly. It already knows what its goal is.
Little hands ran quickly. The four fingers crawled and squirmed like a spider. The pinky finger is pointed and is ready to defend if there is an obstacle like a blind man's cane. After a while, he rushed through the open door and out of the morgue.
It is now more than three o'clock in the morning. It was fortunate that no one was walking at this time. Except for the doctors and nurses who sat on duty only. It ran bumps and bumps here and there for a long time. Until the touch of the four fingers changed From the smooth and cold ground It is a rough, rough floor. The late-night wind blew against his bruised skin, causing his fur to stand on end. The little dealer has successfully come outside.
His pinky finger pointed at the empty air like a compass. Even though he managed to escape from the hospital But going on is very difficult. Everywhere you touch, you'll find only the rough floor of hard cement. The sounds of the surrounding atmosphere were extremely faint. The little hand dropped his paw again. And hopelessly tapped her ring finger, causing the steel bar to hit the concrete floor.
“Whoa!”
It was quite some time before that high-pitched whistle sounded. Following this, the vibrations in the area became stronger and stronger. The little hand suddenly stood up and stood on five fingers. and turned around in apprehension When there is no hiding place As that voice came closer and closer
“Eeeeeee!! suddenly"
“Hurry up and get the bed.”
The car stopped in front of him. Followed by the noise of the people. His hands spread flat on the ground, hoping that no one would see him. It lay motionless amidst the vibrations of countless feet. An old bed with wheels and the cries of people crossing over it. The dirt from the shoes fell all over the place, making a mess. Soon, those sounds gradually disappeared, followed by the sound of the engine accelerating.
The little hand instinctively stood up. The five fingers ran quickly again. Use all your strength to bounce up into the air. He spread his hands wide and was able to use his rotting nails to instantly cling to the metal grooves of the moving car.
The old ambulance made a loud noise and shook violently. A little hand reached out, running its fingers along the peeling paint with rotting nails. Nothing is strong or safe. The flesh trembled, but he still reached out a finger and slowly climbed up it carefully.
“Suddenly.”
The top is empty. There were no more traces for fingers to cling to. The knocking sound didn't reveal how far away it was. There was only a strong vibration from the car that was moving steadily. And the finger nails that are about to fall off are just keeping the pressure on.
“Phew!!”
He used all his strength to leap up again. Five fingers spread wide with nails held only by a thin layer of tissue. It floated in mid-air as if in slow motion. before finding out that it couldn't stick to anything and is about to fall
"simultaneously"
This time the sound was softer than expected. His hand fell on the old, damp cloth on the driver's seat. It successfully entered the car. But it still spreads out and waits, using an old cloth as cover. When he felt a large figure move next to him
The driver turned and looked at the seat next to him suspiciously. before turning back to look at the road and let out a big yawn It seemed like he was too blurry to care about anything right now. and hopes to return to rest as quickly as possible
The car continued to drive away at a constant speed. Just like the man driving the car, he remained silent for quite some time. Little Hand saw an opportunity and slowly and complacently lifted himself up. This time, the driver turned to stare at the slowly moving figure under the covers. before shaking his head to shake off the drowsiness caused by uncertainty and when he saw that it was still moving
His half-asleep eyes widened in surprise, and hesitantly, he reached out and grabbed the old cloth with his wet palms.
“Shout!!”
The cloth quickly came off. An empty, rotted leather seat appeared. He blinked his eyes in confusion. Before he could think that his eyes might just go blind, he suddenly felt a tickle on the hand that was holding the salad cloth behind his back. Moving down to the arm, it gave me goosebumps. He didn't even dare to look. And I don't want to know what it is anymore.
The little prince continued to climb up through the rough shirt he was wearing. Climbing up to his neck, it sent shivers down his spine. before crawling up onto a face with thick glasses. The acrid smell of formalin hit the man's nostrils and made him want to scream. But his mouth was trembling and he could only mutter a prayer without words.
All five fingers fit snugly on the face. before he couldn't contain his emotions
“Ahh!!! I can't take it anymore!!”
A trembling hand hurriedly grabbed and violently yanked the small lump of flesh away. before suddenly stopping the car and opened the door before rushing out of the car.
The little bookie that was now pasted onto the windshield slowly trickled down onto the car's dashboard. With almost all of his nails missing. and the bones that were twisted from the force of the sudden surge. He lifted himself up with five trembling fingers and slowly climbed down to the rounded steering wheel. And used his thumb to rub it familiarly. by instinct It knew immediately what to do.
“..creaking”
The old car stopped smoothly, even though the white ambulance was so damaged that almost nothing remained of its original appearance. The back door opened wide. The entire car's mirror cracked and fell out of the frame. The shattered headlights tried to blink like they were taking their last breaths. With the morning light slowly pouring into our tired hands. that must control the steering wheel
and stepped on the brakes on the floor I alternated between doing both for a long time until my hands were shaking. There were some bumps here and there, but it was worth it to be able to get here. He sank down onto the rough cushion, exhausted. and stood still as if falling asleep
“…Goodbye, goodbye..”
His little hand jumped when he felt that familiar voice. before quickly jumping out of the open car door. Down on the wet grass before quickly crawling with all five deformed fingers Wet grass turns to dry soil, dry soil turns to hot sand. It was getting closer and closer to that sound.
before spreading itself and inserting itself beneath the fine sand try to hide Unbeknownst to him, there were also shiny steel strips sticking out on the sand.
“Goodbye, eh?”
The young woman who was the owner of the voice turned around and caught sight of the object. before reaching out to pick it up and looking at it Until the iron ring almost fell off the dry and thin finger. The lump of meat jumped out of its hiding place and instinctively clung to the little girl's hand.
“Ah!”
The little girl was a little startled before she slowly raised her hand and looked at it curiously.
“..Mr. Alien.”
After saying that, the little girl let out a soft laugh before gently stroking her rough hand. Do it calmly. With a warm feeling that cannot be described
He gently moved his ring finger up and down, allowing the large ring to easily flow down onto the girl's hand. before rubbing his finger on the girl's hand Try to offer the same warmth that girls give. Even if he can only tickle her. Before it crawls down Only the glittering ring on her hand remained.
"..mother! Mom!”
The little girl ran to a place where another woman opened the door at her voice.
“Yes, Baimon, what is it?”
A warm voice came from the slender woman. while patting the little girl's head affectionately
“Mom, look at this. It looks just like yours.”
The little girl smiled excitedly. Ready to hand over the ring in hand Much to her surprise. Until I had to look at the ring finger of my left hand. and found the same ring that was still intact Kneeling down to ask the little girl with a serious look.
“Baimon, where did you get this ring from?”
she asked curiously.
“Alien, Mr. Alien gave this to me.”
The little girl answered immediately. Followed by the murmur of the woman in front of him.
“…Aliens?”
“Yes, he has five arms. And there's purple.. He climbed up and let me kiss him too..”
The little girl explained so excitedly that she lost words. While the woman was gone, she kept her eyes on everything. and was surprised to see a crumpled ambulance outside the iron fence. The little buck slowly crawled under a tree with thick grass before lying down. His mission has ended. He could only wait for the sunlight to shine down on him. Ready for the flesh to decay, dry up, contract and break down one day.
