Master with Broken fingers



I had absolutely no idea till recently, how many things i was taking for granted
in my day to day life as a human being. For years the fingers on my right hand have
been faithful to me... They do exactly what i tell them to do.

Holding a brush, a glass of water, piece of cloth, a spoon..i took everything for
granted. You need the fingers on your right hand, especially if you are a guy!!

But when your faithful fingers no longer are faithful.. you are suddenly transported into
a whole new world.. a world where your fingers wont do what you want them to do.

Me to my middle, ring & little finger: "You guys, i need to pick up that glass of water.
You three curl up like the others and pick it up"

They to me: "Excuse me, who the hell are you ? and why should we do what you say?"

Me shocked and surprised.

Me to them: "I am your Master. You are supposed to. You exist to follow my orders.
You have followed my orders for the past 29 years, and you shall follow them now !!"

Them to me (in chorus): "Oh yea?? Well, we've got some news for you 'buddy'. We aint gonna follow
your orders anymore. Go take a hike. This is a revolution. We will exist! We will be independent !!
Freeeeedooooomm !!!"

Me to them: "Be careful, you don't wanna mess with your Master. Take your words back, do as i say
and you shall be spared of a lot of pain."

Them to me: "Hhhhuuuuuu... we are scccaarrreeddd !!" (laughing)

Me to them: "Dont say i didnt give you a chance!"

Them to me: "Do excuse us, but we have a party to attend. Bye !"

And with that, the three of them started dancing and moving around,
"Grooving to the music" as they told me.

Me to my brain: "We have a highly volatile situation. We have a rebellion going on."
Brain to me: "So i heard. Let me see what i can do."

My brain bombarded the rebellious fingers with tens and thousands of electrical charges.
The fingers managed to fend them away.

Them to me: "Is that all you've have got, MASTER ?" (laughing)

Brain to me: "We gonna need some external help on this"

We go visit a specialist, an Orthopedic, as they call him. He has a close look at them.
Tries to move them, the fingers resist.

The Specialist looks at us and says: "This is an extreme situation. A danger to your survival."

Us to the specialist: "Can anything be done at all ???" (scared)

Specialist to us: "An extreme situation demands an extreme solution. This may not be easy on you
both, but it is needed for you to continue living the way you have been till now. Are you up for this?"

Us to specialist: "Yes we are!" ( in chorus)

Specialist to us: "They have gone rogue, am gonna have confine them. Gonna have to take away all their
freedom. Make them completely immobile. Thats the only way they gonna understand."

Us to the specialist: "And how are you gonna to that? Is it safe for us ?"

Specialist to us: "Yes, you will be in no danger. I am gonna pin them down with huge nails.
That will make them stay put. 3 weeks of confinement and it will teach them a lesson.
But just to be on the safe side, I am gonna knock you out so that you dont feel the pain"

Us to the specialist: "Lets do this!!"

Three weeks later..

Specialist to us: "Yes! Good ! They have given up the rebellion. But they are not gonna listen to you
right away. But they will turn around and soon they will listen to you. I am gonna recommend another
specialist, 'Physiotherapist', she is good at this. She will make sure they listen to you."

Us to specialist: "Thank you !! You have saved us."

We then go meet the 'physiotherapist'

She to us: "Aha, i see wat the problem is. You dont have to worry, 6 weeks with me and they will
start calling you Master again !"

Me to them: "I had warned you! Will you follow my orders now?"

Them to me: "Yes Master!"
