Instrumentation

I was always a fan of instruments in my youth, and was a prodigy in the 7th grade. I was always good with these types of things up until I had kids, where I started to become more focused on caring for them as best as I could. They were tiring, and sucked the life out of me. I was a bit rusty when I first found out this video I happened to find in the depths of Newsgrounds, I don’t know. My memory is hazy at best, so if there’s anything I could be missing I’m sorry for that.
“Instrumentation” is a video I happened to stumble across before I had kids, which appeared in my feed as I was scrolling through NG while my wife cooked dinner. It was a Mario video judging by the screenshots I had, and particularly had me intrigued during that time. So I decided to watch the video, and then was greeted by a watermark. I don’t exactly remember what it looked like, but it looked like some sort of Triangular Bullhorn or something similar to it. It began with Mario walking through the SMB3 overworld, with his appearance looking cute and simplified. His hat was a cap, and his colors for his clothing were swapped.
Around atleast 10 seconds, Mario comes across one of those Toad Houses. What was off about it is that it was covered in black liquid, tinted a tad bit red to indicate that it was blood. I was a tad bit weirded out but continued watching, feeling some sort of dread. Mario eventually entered the home, looking around for a lightswitch. Eventually, he found the switch and this is where things started to go wrong.
The house’s background began to show imagery of some forest trail, it being shadowed by red. Mario eventually turned to the inhabitant, in which it showed what seemed to be a dead toad. His brain was exposed and dripped down the side of his face as his eyes were whited out. Along with that was a whistle infront of Mario, making an ominous noise akin to choir singing. Mario mainly looked at the whistle, ignoring the body on the otherside of the room. He scratched his head, thinking of how to get the whistle.
In short: Classic Mario Shenanigans was about to happen.
Mario essentially was trying to break the whistle out of the air, aiming to use it for himself. He used everything in his power to do so, throwing everything at it in order to get it down. Even his dear brother Luigi wasn’t safe, but eventually via black magic ironically enough, the Whistle fell to the ground with an audible cracking sound effect. It sounded like if someone’s neck just snapped, and made my skin crawl.
Mario walked up to the whistle and began breakdancing out of sheer joy as Luigi walked by, hurriedly as if he was needed to be at a job interview. The Whistle began to shake wildly, the same black liquid bleeding from it as Mario soon dropped it. The whistle was soon back into the air, as it started to float towards Mario. Mario backed away, slowly, now showing fear and confusion on his face.
Then it pierced him through the chest.
The whistle dug its way into Mario’s chest, I can still hear the sickening sounds of flesh being minced and bone crunching and breaking as the whistle disgustingly and hastily dug into Mario’s heart. Mario keeled over, screaming loud as his voice began to change of a horrified Italian to the sounds of a deer. As he slowly stood up once more, his body changed and now heavily different. The whistle was still within his chest, it harmonizing well with the screams of the damned. Mario’s eyes were now black and had these.. “pupils”, if you could even call them that. His jaw was slacked and opened, his hat now no longer just a cap and had no M on the emblem. His tongue was blue, it being a sign that his body could be piloted by this freakish whistle which began to sing a tune. The words “IT’SA ME” appeared not shortly after, and the background was an incomprehensible mess. It looked like some sort of dirty hallway. But, I don’t know.
By the time the video was done and over with, the food was already cooked to perfection. My wife notified me and I sheepishly began to head towards the dining table. It was some good food, but it couldn’t help me get my mind off of that one part with Mario turning into.. that.. thing. I still ate most of it, and just kinda stayed silent. My wife noticed my unusual behavior and asked me what was wrong, and I just replied with a simple ‘no’. We later talked about what I saw, and she sorta understood why it kinda made me feel a sense of dread. 
I soon heard a noise come from the attic, and it wasn’t from on top of the house either. I heard something move within the attic, my wife noticed it aswell. She asked me to check it out just incase if there was some animal within the attic, and I did. I opened the attic door, and peeked my head from the hole. There was something there alright.
There was a fucking corpse up there.
A rotting corpse of a plumber wearing all red, with a whistle stabbed into his throat.
I vividly recall myself falling from the ladder and then immediately waking up in the hospital, my wife horrified by the corpse that laid within the attic. Apparently I had a concussion and knocked myself out, as the police asked me questions from within the hospital. I vividly remember talking to them about the video that I watched beforehand, and they were heavily concerned about the involvement of the video and the weapon used.
Ever since then, I haven’t used any flute based objects ever again. Even if I do, I still remember the whistle jammed into that poor man’s throat. And it still haunts me to this very day, and is one of the many reasons why I don’t use instruments anymore. Please, I beg of you, do not search for the video yourself. I don’t know what the hell happened but it sure as hell isn’t normal.
One last thing before I go.
Yesterday, I was walking the dogs as my wife tended to the children at home. It was quite relieving to not deal with the kids for a moment, it being a comforting experience. Eventually, I spotted a music store. I told my dogs to sit and wait for me to come back out, and they did. I entered inside to see that it was completely empty, no people were inside it except for this one guy. He glared at me as I walked in and I was weirded out. No one was manning the store so I opted to leave, then I was rushed by the same guy that gave me that particular look and tried to stab with me with something. I was trying to throw him off me and got a heavy bruise on my face and a broken nose, and eventually grabbed whatever he was holding and slashed him in the chest. He ran off, and I just stood there. I looked at what that guy was gonna stab me with, and my heart sank.
It was a bloody whistle.
