LAST WISHES

Handy was counting the money that he had in his metal box, which he somehow got out since he had no hands, when he was finished he smiled. "only 2 more payments to go" he thought. however, he was unaware of a set of eyes watching him.

suddenly he heard a knock at the door. nervous he used his head to close the lid and made his to the door he opened it and there stood Crafty, "hello Handy", she said. 

"what are you doing here Crafty?" he asked

"it's very simple, there's a huge mansion I want to buy, but I can't afford to buy it", she explained "I was walking by your place and I saw your money, and i was wondering if you could lend me some money so i can buy it."

"I'm sorry, but I can't" handy said "I need this money for my surgery and my future funeral"

crafty was confused "okay, i understand the surgery part but why a funeral"

handy walked over to a window overlooking a cemetery, and told his sad story

"I was a just little kid back then. my mother was killed in an accident, which cost her, her left arm. she was just buried in a wooden coffin, with no one to mourn her besides me and my father, because we couldn't afford anything big, and I made a vow that the same wouldn't happen to my father. so I began to save up my money. unfortunately my father took the money, spent it all on at a bar called 'cheers', got drunk on the job, which resulted in an accident that cost him his head. and he too was buried in a wooden coffin." handy was on the verge of tears. "and when richie's father's funeral came around, I was awestruck by all of the fancy stuff you would usually see at funerals, I eventually got my construction accident, and i thought back to my parent's funerals." handy turned to face crafty. "and so I started to save my money so I can afford an expensive surgery for my arms and a funeral for me when my time comes."

"I understand" Crafty said.

"look, if you need money you can ask Richie"

and just what she did. but she got the same answer.

"I'm sorry but this is going to handy. and the rest is for a fancy suit my father saw at the mall. he saved his money so he can buy it, so when he dies he can be buried in it. but he died before he could, so I took it upon myself to buy the suit and be buried in it like my father wanted."

"but don't you have any cases or something, I can borrow the money from them"

"I'm afraid i don't" Richie explained "ever since you know what came into the picture there hasn't been a robbery or murder case in months."

undeterred, she decided to try Medea, a resident known for dabbling in the dark arts

"no way I need the money to buy an expensive ingredient for a spell I'm trying."

"what spell"

"it's a spell that can make wishes come true. I plan on using it so this situation we're in will be done once and for all"

she had no luck with another resident named Flippy.

"sorry but I need the money so afford to try an expensive experiment so I can remove my dark side, that way, I won't look at my reflection and see myself covered in blood."

and so Crafty started to walk to her regular home, still determined to get that house. and finally she came to an decision.

that night while Handy was sleeping a pillow was placed over his face he struggled to get it off but couldn't because he didn't have hands. after a few minutes, he stopped struggling, and went limp.

afterwards crafty proceeded to take the money he had, but then looked at the corpse with a devilish thought in mind "you know handy, I don't know if you remember last years trial, where you claimed I stole your construction blueprints and sold them to a big corporation, I got a life sentence because of that. well handy, I think it's high time i got even with you."

afterwards, she snuck until richie's house, and found him in his hot tub, she crept in and proceeded to shove his head underwater, and just like handy he died after a few minutes. afterwards she brought the body out of the tub. "now listen richie, do you remember last years trial, I asked you to help me but you refused due to my 'criminal activities'. well I do, and now I'm going to get my revenge."

in the mountains, Medea heard a noise outside, so she went to investigate, suddenly Crafty shoved off the side of the mountain, some hikers found her and sent her body to a funeral home. Crafty she made her way to the funeral home where the body was kept "don't think I'm done with you." she whispered, trying to avoid getting caught "it's time I got even with you for testifying against me at the trial." 

finally Flippy was napping when a knife was plunged into his stomach. Crafty as usual took the money and began her routine, "and now, Flippy I'm going to get even with you" she said "you said you witnessed me steal handy's blueprints, well I'll make sure you never see again."

after stealing the money and getting revenge on the people responsible for her life sentence. she bought the mansion and Riichie's fancy suit with the stolen money. and after a few months everything was fine.

but one night where a group of 4 graves with wooden coffins lay, there was a sawing sound that sounded like it came from underground. afterwards a digging sound was heard, and Handy's corpse rose from one of the graves. he struggled to get out because instead of hands, he had a saw and shovel attached to his arms.

when he finally got out, he proceeded to dig up the other graves and used his saw on the lids. when he was done he raised his saw into the air, as if he was calling for someone. 

another grave opened and Richie proceeded to get out, stitches were shown where his head and heart were located and in his brain and hearts place were bags of coins, and if that weren't enough he wasn't wearing the suit he wanted, but instead he was dressed like a homeless bum.

Medea was next to get out, she had dirt pour out of her tongueless mouth, and her ears were torn off and in their place were voodoo dolls.

finally Flippy got out of his grave but he need help, because his eyes were torn out.

meanwhile Crafty was getting ready to sleep, when a nasty stench hit her nostrils, she turned on the lights, and to her horror, she saw the four corpses that she took her revenge on, in her room, coming towards her. 

a resident was walking by the place when she heard a ear splitting scream. she phoned the police and next morning they found her disfigured body. suspicion was placed on Shifty because he was near the place and he was immediately arrested, everyone was unaware that it was actually the four corpses in the graveyard.

the same corpses that rose from their graves, but there was something different about them. Handy now had hands, Richie now had a brain, a heart and his fancy suit, Medea now had a tongue and ears, finally Flippy had a pair of eyes. 

they made their way to the funeral home, took Crafty's body out of the fancy coffin, dumped her in Handy's grave and returned to their graves, save for Handy, who took Crafty's coffin, and was buried in the cemetery.

well looks like everyone got their wishes, and fortunately for Handy, it was a closed coffin funeral so no one knew the switch and judging by what the corpses have, it gives you an idea what they they did to Crafty.

and as for Shifty. he got sentenced to death by electrocution, but he was oddly calm about it. maybe you know why.
