The Monkey Paw Prequel

“Hello there sir you look like someone who could use 3 wishes,” at first Marcus was startled when he heard the sound of the man voice, but then he grew interested in what the man was selling. Marcus walked over to the table where the man was selling his stuff,
“Hi I’m Marcus, what’s this about 3 wishes?” he asked,
“What I have in my hands is a one of a kind monkey paw, it will give you 3 wishes and when you use all of your wishes then theres no need to keep the paw.”
Marcus thought to himself for a second
“I’ll take it” he said “Okay just remember one thing, magic always comes with a price.”
Marcus doesn’t care what the old man has to say he just wants to start wishing for things. When Marcus got home he pulled out the monkey paw and thinks of something he wants to wish for, he thinks for a minute and then it hits him like lightning

“This is fun, lets keep going” he said.
But before he got to wish for the second wish he heard a loud knock on the door, he wondered who it could be at this time of day? he got up and answered the door
“Who is it?” he said.

“Hello is anyone there?”
“Mooooaann”
Marcus was already scared enough, but he decided to be brave and go check out what all the ruckus

    The second most suspenseful story I believe is The Monkey’s Paw. I believe this suspense story deserves the second place title because this story, much like The Tell-Tale Heart, paired fear and horror with the suspense. In The Monkey’s Paw, the author uses the fear of being buried alive, which I think is another interesting way to create dread in your reader, this helps the suspense flow a little smoother, because now your reader is worried and just has to know what happens to the character. I love that this suspense story used classic suspense, the suspense was how you would expect suspense to be; the beginning was a dark and stormy night and the characters were living their normal lives until someone showed up knocking at the door. One of…

    “Be careful what you wish for”, a common phrase I am sure many people have heard throughout their lives. W.W. Jacob’s takes this phrase and writes his short story The Monkeys Paw around this phrase. We all wish for something extraordinary out of life, Hell, even I have my occasional “God, I wish…” ; but as we all know “ask and thee shall receive” is easier said then done. Jacobs interpetation of wishing is similar to alchemy in which the first law known as the law of equivalent exchange, which states “Human kind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain something of equal value must be lost.” This is the main premise of the story in which everything that is wished comes with a horrible cost.…
