An extreme, ultra-rare form of insomnia that is downright terrifying to even think of. First identified in the mid-18th century, fatal familial insomnia (FFI) is a progressive disease that makes it physically impossible for a person to sleep.
The symptoms of FFI can be divided into several "Stages" which are as follows:
Stage 1: Habitual sleepiness/drowsiness
Stage 2: Hallucinations
Stage 3: Memory loss/dementia
Stage 4: Coma, then death
Fatal familial insomnia is not curable, and there are no methods of slowing it down that medical experts are aware of. One might think that sleeping pills are a good idea, but that couldn't be farther from the truth; remember the main symptom is that you CANNOT SLEEP no matter what. Sleeping pills actually make it progress quicker. The disease generally kills in less than three years, and in some cases even less than a year. However, there have been anomalous cases where people have lived for five years or more with the disease.

Fatal Familial Insomnia is a terrifying disease. The initial symptoms before you start to (literally) lose your mind last just long enough for you to realize that it's happening, and the fact that it cannot be stopped once it starts REALLY ramps up the panic that ensues.

The Farm Fatale told the Barn Boss she was getting a new horse.
When I asked who ran the farm they pointed to the good looking woman. Then I knew she was a farm Fatal.

Get the fatality mug.A Nintendo 3DS game created by VG && IG “made between 1979 and 1991” which was developed in an attempt to revive Nintendo 3DS gaming. Fatal Fractures main game loop was a FPS shooter where you kill 14 enemies in an endless loop throughout different levels. There are multiple guns (Hand Gun, Minigun, AR, Plasma AR, RPG, Pistol, and Grenade Pistol.) Guns never run out of ammo, and enemies Dont change their attack patterns or health. Unlike other FPS games Y and A will look left and right, respectively. X aims up, B aims down. Despite it having a poor rating of 2 on the Eshop, I recommend the game to lots of people. The game is no longer available for purchase, but I will attempt to recreate it for public play.
