LOT [HH-173-EUC]

Seller: Criminal Gainz Auction House

OBJECT CLASS: Euclid (You'll understand why)

WHAT YOU'RE BUYING:

A wall hanging Demon Hand. A gothic decor piece cast in weathered polymer, designed to mount flush, sized to cover a human face.

That's what the box says.

WHAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY BUYING:

A roommate that moves when you're not looking.

PROPERTIES CONFIRMED BY PREVIOUS OWNERS:

• Points at different things. Every time. No pattern detected.

• Room runs cold within 3 meters. Save on AC.

• You will check if it moved. It won't have moved. You will check again.

• Cast shadow occasionally disagrees with physics.

INCIDENT LOG (ABRIDGED):

3:00 AM. Cold pressure. Throat. Security footage shows nothing.
The hand hangs exactly as mounted.
The hand hangs exactly as mounted.
The hand hangs—

You get the idea.

THE LOCKED BOX TEST:

They locked it in a sealed container. Left it unobserved.
Found it outside.
Container sealed. Door closed. Hand open.

WHY BUY:

Because safe is boring.
Because your living room deserves a conversation piece that ends conversations.
Because some wall art watches back.

LOT CLOSES: When you look away. Don't.
