And now your body has decided to finish the job. One limb at a time. Without warning. Without mercy. You’re not cursed. You’re not possessed. You’ve just been born with one of the rarest, cruelest medical conditions in human history: Stone Man Disease.This immersive, second-person bedtime documentary walks you through the terrifyingly slow progression of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva in a time before diagnosis, compassion, or indoor plumbing. Experience the physical pain, the social isolation, the religious confusion, and the sheer absurdity of turning into a statue — while your neighbors blame faeries and your priest offers advice worse than the disease.Perfect for fans of darkly funny, slow-paced historical storytelling.🛏️ Drowsy Historian’s Favorite Sleep ToolsLooking to upgrade your nighttime routine?
