Today, I fucked up... by having one leg.
So, Iâve been missing my leg for four years now. Iâve adapted quite well. I get around just fine with a prosthetic.
However, when Iâm at home in my small apartment, I prefer to crawl short distances instead of going through the hassle of putting my prosthetic on. Itâs jut more convenient that way.
So last night we had some company over to watch scary movies, and I read everyone a few short submissions to/r/nosleep. Everyone was pretty spooked before we went to bed. Two friends of mine slept on the couch, and one of them was someone we have never had over before. So this individual had never seen me crawl without my leg on. To describe it, I kind of move like a very slow cheetah whoâs missing a hind leg. Like a tri-pod crawl, if that makes sense. So, I suppose it can be unsettling if youâre not expecting it.
In the middle of the night/early morning, I decide to leave my room for a drink. I didnât turn the hall light on so I wouldnât disturb my sleeping guests. Thereâs just enough light coming from the light above the sink to guide me where I needed to go. As Iâm turning the corner to enter the kitchen, I see a figure and I hear âOH SHIT WHAT THE FUCKâ, next thing I know, Iâm getting kicked in the face. I suppose my friend recognized my foul mouth screaming back at him, because then he turned the light on and started apologizing profusely.
TL;DR: I crawled through my apartment without my prosthetic leg, my friend thought I was a demon and started kicking me in the face.
