When people are feeling down, they tend to look at the ground as they walk.
These days, smartphones have made it a little less common, but it’s still something almost everyone has experienced at some point.
And so, at least once in their life, everyone has probably found themselves staring at this on the pavement or the road without really thinking about it.
A manhole.
A dull gray circle that appears all over the streets.
An access point to underground pipelines, a passageway for maintenance workers.
Everyone knows that.
- A child’s hand with painted nails.
- A hand in a sanitation worker’s uniform.
- A hand clad in a knit sweater.
- A hand wearing an old school uniform.
- A hand in a business suit.
- A hand wearing a ■■-era military uniform.
- A wrinkled, wart-covered elderly hand.
- A hand covered in ■■■ tattoos, missing all fingernails.
- If you remain in this area for over two hours, the "Manhole Hand" you exorcised will be waiting for you at the exit.
