Time for a scary story from a video game
One day, a man named Michael was hiking upon a lonely clifftop that was home to many caves. When in curiosity he meandered close to one.
He awoke a beast of nauseating and objectionable form that pursued him in bloodlust down the mountain.
Michael ran toward the safety of his cabin, but felt it growing nearer. He drew his pocket blade and cut off his little finger, hoping that while the beast ate, he could put distance between them.
But before long it caught up. So he drew his blade again, and this time cut off two fingers. A hand was next, and then a foot, then the other foot, and a forearm for good measure.
But the creature was unreasonable, and it seemed that nothing would sate it. At last, the cabin appeared, and Michael staggered to its shelter.
And there, he laughed, for he had no hand to hold a key, no eye to see the lock, nor leg to reach it. And the beast laughed too.
