The product promised &#8220;experimental therapeutic treatment for eliminating mental issues.&#8221; Sure, why not try it. Therapists and medications had failed her so far; might as well give whatever the fuck this is a shot. $19.99 and a phone app download later made her think she had been scammed. Too late to get the money back. Time to try it.<br /><br />Name. Email address. Password. Thumb print. Facial recognition scan? That was new. Fine. Activate treatment? What, no questions about past mental and medical history? Just&#8230;start the experiment? Weird, but welcome - she hated repeating all that old bullshit every therapist had listened to but none seemed to hear. She hit start.<br /><br />Loading&#8230;registering&#8230;please close your eyes for 20 seconds? Okay&#8230;?<br /><br />Wait. How long has it been? Things are&#8230;fuzzy. When did she open her eyes? Why couldn&#8217;t she focus on anything around her&#8230;hold on - why was she able to vaguely know what was around her, but not really see it?<br /><br />She went to rub her eyes. Her curled hands bumped each other and landed on something flat between her shoulders? Where&#8230;where was her head?<br /><br />And why did that not feel like a problem? She felt relaxed. Truly at peace. She dropped her phone. She moved a bit on her bed, eventually standing up. She walked around, tapping things and creating muffled sounds. It was all fine. Somehow, no worries.<br /><br />Huh. Guess she can&#8217;t have mental problems without a mind. Who knew?<br /><br />&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br /><br />Patreon got this in January.
