HandlessChild.jpg



I am a regular user on PlanetMinecraft forums and had posted there since 2012, Minecraft was a very active game back then, but since 2018 have slowed my activity on the forums down.

It was not until the end of 2019 that I got a notification from the site, which I did not want to open, but was curious still.

Someone had posted in a old thread of mine from 2014 and replied with what looked like a burnt mannequin, “posted on January 5th 2020”, it said.

It was weird considering 2020 had not come yet and I was curious if something would happen on that date.

I logged back into my PlanetMinecraft forums account only to find that my profile picture changed to a eyeless doll.

A random process ran in the background on my computer, my computer automatically shutdown and it got reset.

I turned it back on and a random JPG file popped up with the words “HandlessChild.jpg”, it was the same image shown to me in the thread.

But this time, the mannequin had stopped burning suffering severe burns, but was collapsed on the floor laying on its side.

I tried closing the file several times but nothing would happen, my web browser opened up by itself and showed a file directory.

The first thing that popped up was a random internet explorer file named burningcorpse.html, redirecting me to a empty PlanetMinecraft account.

All that was on there was creepy casual stock images but I found a outdated image on there from 2015 that showed just casual mannequins laughing.

I felt a little unnerved when I clicked on the image and their faces began to melt in front of my eyes and my head started feeling a burning sensation.

My face made a grin and I smiled back at the disfigured faces of the mannequins, I tried to stop but I looked at my hands and they were doll-like.

Eventually, my mouth opened and I couldn’t close it, I just froze and passed out on the floor with no expression.

I woke up only to find out I was human as usual according to my appearance but I looked in the mirror and saw myself grinning with a face of that is a mannequin.

My reflection would remain that way for life and I have struggled with suicidal tendencies, I always have nightmares at night and insomnia, I still talk to the mannequins in my dreams.
