When Peter first noticed the strange holes in his thumb, he freaked out completely. He had no idea what could have possibly caused this or how potentially dangerous this was. But he soon learns. He went to the doctor that very afternoon, but when that man took a look at it, the message for peter was not good.
The doctor called the police immediately after determining what was going on…
Peter was just left without any explanation. The doctor had done some tests on him and after seeing the results he immediately informed the police and ran out of the room, leaving him behind. Peter was starting to panic now as he now felt how serious this probably was…
And when he found out that the doctor had locked the door on him, Peter started to see red. He started banging against the door with his full weight trying to break it open. And with a couple of hits, it gave way. He was now facing to face with the doctors that had locked him in…
The doctor was now forced to give Peter an explanation as to what he had discovered and upon hearing it, Peter collapsed onto the floor…
But what had the doctor discovered? What were these holes in Peter’s fingers and why did the police need to get involved here?
Peter didn't notice anything wrong when he woke up. It seemed like any other morning. He had gotten up and shuffled to the kitchen to make his coffee. He didn't even notice anything wrong while he made the coffee until he was about to pour it into his cup when he saw it and he was ready to scream.
40-year-old Peter was a single man. He had dated in the past but it had just never gone well. He hoped that this time it would be different. He'd spent a lot of time preparing for the date. He really wanted it to go well and it would be the first time they'd meet in person but not everything would go to plan.
He'd met the woman online and knew it was a long shot but he met up with her. The date was nothing extraordinary. She really didn't seem that interested and he wasn't sure yet if he wanted to see her again, but the next morning he was sure he didn't. After all, what was beyond strange. He didn't want to pull her into it when he didn't even know what was going on.
The morning after his date, Peter discovered that there was something strange about his thumb. It ached a bit but it wasn't until he looked closely at it that he saw exactly why his thumb was hurting and it scared the living daylights out of him. What was happening to him?
Peter's thumb was covered in tiny holes. He thought that maybe something had stuck to his thumb, but bringing it closer to him, he saw that the holes were digging into his skin. He pressed on it with his other fingers and it hurt a bit more. Something was very clearly wrong, but what?
Peter's thought a bit. Maybe some insect had bitten him or even crawled into him? Maybe it had latched onto his thumb in the night? But he'd never seen a bug do anything like this. Peter searched online and came to the conclusion that no bug had done this. It had to be something worse.
The more Peter looked at his thumb the more confused he became. These weren't just tiny holes. There was something inside the holes. He couldn't make it out, but he was sure there was something else there. The holes were hard and whatever inside was too. He needed to do something and he had just the idea.
Peter decided that he was going to try and dig out whatever it was in his thumb with tweezers. He went to the bathroom and pulled out his tweezers, but before he could dig into his thumb, he hesitated. He didn't really have any idea what he was dealing with. Doing this could make it even worse, but he still had to do something.
Peter didn't like doctors. He preferred to take care of things by himself. He rarely would go unless something was severely bad and as much as he hated the idea of going to the doctor he knew that this wasn't something he should take care of by himself. So he took the leap and called the doctor.
The doctor's office set up a semi-emergency appointment for that same afternoon. They told him that there would be others ahead of him, but they would definitely see him by the end of the day at the latest. In the meantime, the doctor told Peter that he needed to do something for him.
The doctor told Peter that he needed to think about anything that was different recently that could've caused this. Anything out of the ordinary. It would greatly help the doctor figure out what exactly was wrong. Peter agreed to think about it and hung up the phone. What could have done this? He didn't really know.
Peter thought back over the last week. He hadn't really done anything too out of the ordinary. He went on a hike through the forest a couple days ago. He easily could've touched something out there before. Maybe a mushroom or a contaminated piece of moss? That could definitely be an option...maybe?
As Peter continued thinking, the hike didn't make that much sense. Surely other people had gone hiking on that same trail. It was a popular route. He wouldn't be the first person to be experiencing this. There'd have to be other signs. He decided to rule it out as an answer, but there had to be something else.
It was difficult to think of anything that was out of routine. Peter was an average guy. He didn't do much except hike occasionally and go to the local coffee shop. He worked from home and didn't go outside that much. He really was a boring person, but then it hit him. There was something else that was out of the ordinary.
Peter had gone on the date the night before. He'd been talking with the woman online for a while and had eventually decided to go on a date. Peter had been excited to try out dating again. He still hadn't found his soulmate and was hoping that this date would go well. Things would end up taking an unexpected turn.
From the moment the date began, Peter felt like something was off about the woman. She didn't really seem interested in him. It was almost like she despised him but as soon as he would start thinking this she'd do something that showed that she was invested. It was just a strange date, but there was something more.
Thinking back Peter wasn't sure why she'd even contacted him in the first place. Looking through his messages with her he could see more and more that she didn't really like him. He'd just been a bit desperate and wasn't thinking clearly. Could she have something to do with all of this?
Peter couldn't see how she'd have anything to do with this. They hadn't gotten physical at all and he hadn't contacted her since last night. She hadn't messaged him either. If she had done something wouldn't she have said something? Peter wasn't sure, but it was time for his appointment. He had to go.
