Really Really Experienced
392: Becoming the Monkey: After months of searching, you finally find the legendary Monkey's Paw. You know how dangerous it is, but you're in your third year of law school, and you're sure you can phrase your wishes in such a way tha--someone walks into you and knocks it out of your hands. It drops onto the pavement with a sharp crash and instantly shatters into a million pieces. Some kind of pinkish vapour escapes from the remains and before you realize it, you've inhaled it. You wait anxiously to see if anything happens... but nothing. Relieved at escaping scot-free, but despondent at having lost your prize, you head back home. When you open the door, you find your mother doing the dishes you'd promised you'd do. Exasperated at your forgetfulness, she cries out: "I wish you would just do what I wanted!" You're horrified to find your index finger curling.
