  • I BURNED MY HANDS, AND IT ERASED MY EXISTENCE: Not Even My Fortune Teller Remembered Me!
    Support our Halloween “Overcoming the Darkness” campaign to help people with depression: https://weirddarkness.com/HOPE

    A man who is rescued from an apartment fire suffers severe burns to his hands, erasing the lines on his palms (including his lifeline).
