  • 1982: Self-Hypnosis And The Curse Of Technology

    September 21, 2009 — With 343 words & Read — Labelled as: Illustrated

    Hello visitors/fans/housewives/mathematicians/policemen/individuals!
    So a season has past and so did 30,000+ words.

    He inserts the floppy disk into his computer and it starts to boot up the Self-Hypnosis program.
    A male robotic voice starts to talk.
    PLEASE TYPE IN WHAT YOU WISH TO CHANGE ABOUT YOURSELF
    He starts typing on his keyboard, pressing each of the keys with his index finger.
    L O S E F A T
    His computer makes some strange noises as it processes his input.
    A black and white spiral appears on his screen and the voice starts talking again.
    STARE AT THE SPOT IN THE CENTER OF THE SPIRAL
    SIT BACK
    RELAX

    So he does and he doesn’t take his eyes of the spiral as it spins around.
    AS YOU STARE AT THE SPOT YOU FEEL YOURSELF RELAX ING
    YOU ARE STARTING TO RE

    His computer needed to do more thinking but after some time it continues with the program.
    LAX
    ALL YOUR MUSCLES
    BREATH IN

    Again the computer had trouble with the advanced graphics and producing the voice.
    He had to hold in his breath the whole time it loaded and he couldn’t hold it for much longer.
    BREATH OUT
    He breath out so hard bits of his saliva splashed onto the screen, he wipes it off and sat back.
    KEEP CONCENTRATING ON WHAT YOU WANT
    YOUR EYELIDS BECOME HEAVY
    HEAVY
    HEAVY
    WITH EACH BLINK YOU BECOME MORE AND MORE RELAX ED
    YOU FEEL YOUR EYELIDS COMING DOWN
    NOW CLOSE YOUR EYES
    KEEP THEM CLOSED UNTIL YOU ARE INSTRUCTED TO OPEN THEM AGAIN
    YOU FIND IF YOU TRY YOU CAN'T OPEN THEM

    The robotic voice was right he couldn’t open his eyes, they felt to heavy to lift.
    AND IMAGEN YOURSELF THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE
    LOS..IN.. TH..T FAT
    #FAT
    FAT^
    %FAT
    FAT*
    !FAT

    The program seemed stuck on the word fat and he was unable to see or move so he could not shut it down.
    The screen showed a message.
    PLEASE INSERT FLOPPY DISK #2
    After months of being in a coma he wakes up in a hospital bed they placed in the exact room he remembered being in last.
    He lost months of his life but he also lost large amounts of his fat.
    The ‘Guaranteed Success’ sticker on this box wasn’t lying.
    This Self-Hypnosis stuff really works.
