F.N.A.F. | In the Flesh | A.U. | "We Need To Talk About Jackson"

DISCLAIMER:

This is not an MPreg... attraction... type... situation... I have none and think it's gross. Don't judge me for finding it gross. It involves a literal unborn baby. I just did this because I heard of the Matt... Male Pregnancy.... Comic book... thingy...

I'm a woman, not a man. However, The main character, Matt, is a CIS-Gendered white male.

Let's Begin:

So there was static. There was a lot of static.

After the divorce, due to my own fault—my infidelity—I decided to pour myself into this game. It was a pretty good project, a VR one and all that. I was deeply invested in creating it, genuinely passionate. Then, after some time,

I think I found a glitch in the code. Effectively, the bug pretty much destroyed everything.

To preface, I lost to my own creation a couple of times, threw things around my cubicle, and basically wrecked my workspace. I tried one more time, failed again, and you know what, I just decided to program it to wander the world alone and stuff like that.

Now, this was technically a copy of the original version, so yeah, I didn’t want to delete my first draft. That build was absolutely amazing to me. So I made a new duplicate, got angry, and started doing crazy things because,

you know, I’m a developer. It’s not real. It’s fiction. It’s fine. I sped up the simulation’s timeline by 1,000. For Springtrap in the game, because I was mad at the character—but again, it's not real. It doesn't really matter.

I also made him isolated out of just... Pretty much edgy rage. So I just decided to go home that day where I live with my roommate, Jason. At first, I couldn’t sleep that night, which sucked. When I did black out to sleep, I got maybe four hours of sleep at best.

Despite that, I got back up and went to work, and I was excited because I thought:

"I need to check on Springtrap. I wanted to see what happened, because, you know, it’s like 1,000 years later, a civilization, a nice little sandbox where he can build stuff, even though I built it out of rage so that in his little universe he'd be all alone and depressed because of the new lore I cooked up for him that drives him bonkers."

However, I added sandbox building capabilities because I found the idea of him being alone in this world fascinating.

I put on my headset, and the guy was nowhere to be found. There were buildings he made, whole cities that weren't there before, all this neat stuff, So I started looking looking for him.

I saw cafés, so I went in there, I saw that he structures like those in cyberpunk, steampunk, robo-punk, and even solar punk. I saw flying cars and all that. I wanted to publish this version. Good thing I backed up his version on a hard drive for me to play with at home.

However, I still couldn't find the one who made all this while living all alone.

I figured he probably wandered off somewhere, but I couldn’t locate him.

After playing around, play testing his little world, backing up the save file, and keeping an extra copy of this version of the game...

I opened the data log, and it looked like he spawned a new version of himself, which killed the old one. I don’t remember programming that, but okay. Someone hacked my project. They probably just opened my cubicle, saw the files, and started editing. But that’s kind of impressive, so I didn’t change it.

Pretty much, the cycle continued, and the murders escalated in brutality. I was like, did you just turn my game into an idle sandbox horror game? I mean, it already was a horror game, but why make it more horrific? But you know what, that was fine until, like, half a million versions of Springtrap respawned and were murdered. And I’m like, is this chill?

Once I found out he could spawn himself, something I didn't actually code in as he was always meant to be alone just building houses, high rise skyscrapers, etc. like that one lone player in Minecraft, I wanted him to make a civilization. He can't do that if he keeps killing his prior selves!

What- what- what—why- why- why—what happened? So he just birth's children and then kills the project’s progeny?! Or... Ancestor?! I think the guy who hacked it tried to make it more disturbing. I don’t know why they would do that.

Is IT my coworker Jackson? Because I think his wife died due to negligence at the hospital. Basically, they didn’t wash their hands when treating her. Sometimes, during labor, they insert their hands into a woman’s body to remove the placenta when it gets stuck.

It's rare, there's a less than 1% chance that the placenta will get stuck or attached to the walls of the uterus, when that happens, they go in to remove it.

It’s not pleasant. Not pleasant at all. It’s actually one of the reasons I didn’t want kids. Some Doctors aren’t very kind to women, and I don't even like how some of them treat them despite the fact that I’m technically kind of misogynistic.

In Jackson's wife, Samantha's case, the combination of them putting their hands where they believed they had to, and the fact they didn’t clean their hands at all in a situation where that would obviously lead to infection led to her getting an infection that killed her after childbirth. That’s one of the reasons a physician came up with washing hands which can be seen in this video.

A doctor invented that method using soap & running water because In many European hospitals of the 1840s, physicians and medical students performed autopsies or dissections of dead human bodies with their bare hands in the morning and then proceeded to examining or delivering babies in obstetrical wards later that day without washing their hands with any kind of antiseptic, leading to many maternal deaths.

In the mid‑19th century, many women died from puerperal (childbed) fever after childbirth, especially in hospital maternity wards where physicians and medical students moved directly from performing autopsies to delivering babies without adequate hand hygiene.

Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis, a Hungarian obstetrician working at the Vienna General Hospital, observed that maternal mortality was much higher in the ward staffed by doctors than in the midwife‑run ward and traced this to doctors’ contaminated hands.

He introduced a policy in 1847 requiring physicians and students to wash their hands with a chlorinated lime solution before examining patients, which dramatically reduced deaths from infection.

This was one of the earliest demonstrations that hand hygiene could prevent infection, long before germ theory was widely understood.

Semmelweis’s findings were initially dismissed & resisted by many of his contemporaries, and his work did not become part of standard medical practice until well after his death.

Washing hands with soap and running water helps prevent the spread of microbes & is now a foundational principle of infection control in medicine and public health.

Why we need soap and running water to wash our hands:

• Germs (like bacteria and viruses) are tiny things we can’t see that get on our hands when we touch things, and they can make us sick if they get into our body. Washing your hands helps remove those germs so you don’t get sick or spread them to others.

• Soap is important because water alone can’t grab onto all the germs. Germs and dirt like to hide in the natural oils and little creases on your hands. Soap helps break up those oils and “trap” the germs so they can be washed away.

• Rub your hands together to make bubbles (lather). Those bubbles and the scrubbing action help loosen the germs from your skin.

• Running water is better than still water because it carries all the soap and germs down the drain. If you just wash in a bowl of still water, the water can get dirty with germs you just washed off, and some could stick back on your hands.

• Just like rinsing dirt off your hands, running water keeps washing the germs away. Soap helps lift them up, and the flowing water takes them away from your hands so they don’t come back.

You also have to wash your hands for at least 20 seconds for the soap to be able to fully do its job.

They didn’t use soap, and it didn’t remove germs, it made the germs grow even more without soap and running water, so many women died. You want to know what reduced those deaths?

Modern sanitation. They didn’t do that back then. and they didn’t do that with Jackson’s wife, Samantha, either. Now Jackson’s wife, Samantha, is dead, and their daughter, Cailee, is motherless.

My paternal grandmother, Diana, was orphaned soon after birth because the attending doctor, Dr. Johnson, did not wash his hands.

I think Jackson hacked my game; it makes the most sense. This game was something I vented my anger about the divorce into, and I told him that. So... I guess he decided to vent his rage too.

But this is getting strange, and I think I might need to get him therapy. I don’t feel like this is normal, repetitively making Springtrap die like this. Is he making them die in childbirth? That’s not okay. That’s extremely disturbing.

So I decided to delete the code, but I can’t seem to do it, and I don’t know why. It's like it's... Resisting??? Which sucks because this version of the game is copied onto the hard drive I typically kept at home, and thus that copy's most likely glitched out, too.

I actually brought the hard drive with me and gave it to my boss, Mr. Trotter, today so that he could play with my little spoof of our game.

I need to ask Jackson if he did this. I’m pretty sure he did, because the violence kept escalating. The killings intensified until half a million Springtraps respawned and were slaughtered.

I don’t know how, but their stomachs are torn open. That’s weird because I never programmed that to even happen! I really Need to talk to Jackson about this. He’s been struggling a lot with his mental health after Samantha's death. Him programming gore like this is fricking disturbing.

So I went to search the files, and after digging through them, I discovered that the programming is fractured across the computer system. How is this thing even running? What did this man do to my code?

I can’t even delete the corrupted program normally. I’m going to go into the game and see if I can find the bodies.

So I entered the world and found Springtrap’s lifeless body. His eyes are just... Kinda staring into blank space... So fun... I’m just going to close the eyelids. Bro's lookin' kinda creepy with those dead eyes staring into the sky...

I reach in to close the eyelids, and upon making digital pseudo-physical contact, I feel a sharp sting combined with a mild electrical jolt in my actual body.

It electrocuted me! Why?! What did Jackson do? I immediately take that crap off! I just got electrocuted! there’s a glitch in the system!

I'm complaining to management! I know this was Jackson! Jackson has been very screwed up ever since the death of his wife!
