On a cold and rainy night in the year 1902, a solider by the name of Sergeant-Major Morris came to the Laburnum Villa where a couple and their son lived comfortably. While they talked about his travels to India, he gave them a paw, a monkey's paw. He warned them that the paw is dangerous. He told them that the paw would grant them three wishes but with every wish came with a terrible consequence.
A horrid fate fell upon the poor family and, at the end, they end up losing their son to the paw and the consequences that it gave them. The couple buried the paw and lived the rest of their days mourning the death of their son.
For 115 years, the paw stayed in the ground as the world around it changed. On a cold and rainy night in London, a salesman was walking to his house when he saw a gray and white object poking out of the ground. Curious as to what it was, he dug it out of the ground, studied it with his hazel eyes, and shoved it in his pocket. A strange feeling came over him as he stood up and started on his journey home. He stopped and looked around the muddy lot. It felt as if someone was staring at him. He shook off the feeling and was about to start walking home when he saw something out of the corner of his eye. He saw a terrible looking face stare at him. It had glowing red eyes, a misshapen face where the left side of its face was sagging while the right looked flayed by a dull knife, and furry light brown skin with blood splattered all over it. The salesman stumbled back into the mud and stared right back at the face with wide, frightful eyes. The glowing red eyes on the face burned into the salesman eyes and it seemed like it could look right into his soul. The salesman looked into the eyes of the face and saw dreadful images of people being tortured alive. The sound of a human's cry rang throughout the salesman's mind over and over. He covered his ears, hoping that it would block out the sound but it merely made it worse. The cries of a woman and the wails of a baby continued ringing throughout his mind. Images of a mother watching her baby being taken from her arms and slaughtered before her very eyes burned in his mind. He cried out in pain from seeing this image over and over again.
"Please." He cried, "Please stop this madness."
The face got closer and closer to the man. It grinned, showing it's sharp and bloody yellowed teeth.
Be careful what you wish for.
The face even more closer to the man 'till it was directly in the man's face. It's glowing red eyes literally started burning the man's eyes. He started crying out in pain as he felt the face burn his eyes off his face. It felt like someone was slowly stabbing a dull knife into his eyes.
Be careful what you wish for.
The man cried out one more time as the feeling got worse and worse. The face started laughing as the man started to scream and squirm on the muddy ground, trying to make this feeling go away.
Be careful what you wish for.
