-Neque Tactus-
'Twas a blizzard-esque night today on an ex-planet. Me and my partner were scavenging all these vaults of an ancient "Human" race, only bits and pieces tells of their remaining days. And today we found a damning docx of their remaining days:
"So, to any survivors or alien species, know that we created the worst disease ever. The disease? "Neque Tactus" was its name. But what happened? Well I will give you the damn truth: we overused it and didn’t make a backup plan."
"The first mutation spread like wild fire across the Globe. Reports of comedic scenes of falling and slipping able-bodied people, malfunctions of equipment and even nuclear meltdowns as well. All tied to "Neque Tactus" - all this because we wanted to handicap terrorists, like A-bombs for the Japanese or Agent Orange for the Communist Vietnamese. Unlike them, this was a bio-mech programmed to handicap assigned “targets,” but we didn’t fail-proof it for a deadly mutation in its code."
"Now, you may be asking how the ability to write is unhindered? Well I ain't writing at all, not even typing this with my hands; I just got lucky that I managed to push the button at all to record an audio-log. Here I am on the floor dying to say the final remaining words for our dying Human race. We didn't go with a big bang or a whimper, but a pecking horrifying joke of a death..."
-Recording over-

Though I like the idea of your story, I can''t seem to see which one of the five human senses you've omitted?
The person can definitely hear - he's speaking to the audio log.
There's no indication that he cannot see, taste, feel or smell... Or am I missing something?

Neque tactus - no touch. I am using touch in the more unrestrictive sense of the word, that it is more than sense relegated to the hands and fingers. He after after all said it was a damn miracle he could get the audiolog to work. Anybody that can walk often relies on touch with the ground to know if they are stable with the ground. Thus why people were slipping and falling as reports go. Often we take touch for granted but you need it to know if you touched the screen or keyboard or held a pencil and on the paper as to know you actually crafted a word without seeing the word at all.

Ooooooooooooohhhhhh! Well, that explains it! :D
Damn I need to work on my... Latin, is it? :P
And yeah, I know exactly what you mean. Reminds me of my visit to the oral surgeon that numbed half my face. I saw myself touching my cheek, but couldn't feel it... Weird "feeling". Definitely do understand how this guy must've felt when he somehow got the recorder to work.

Damn, I know how you feel about oral surgery. It isn’t fun to lose the feeling temporarily to feel anything on one’s face. Especially if you were awake to know what they stuck into your mouth and are surprised by the numbness. Anyways, it was latin there.
