Steemit Photo Challenge #33 Entry 1 - The Monkeys Paw
An entry into the steemit photo challenge. Inspired by the amazing short story The Monkey's Paw
The Monkey's Paw" is a supernatural short story by author W. W. Jacobs first published in England in 1902.
In the story, three wishes are granted to the owner of the monkey's hand, but the wishes come with an enormous price for interfering with fate. - Wikipedia
When I was a lad and started writing short stories I remember reading this. The story fascinated me and terrified me in equal measure. It wasn't till I was much older that I realised that short works such as this was guiding my writing style and you know it still does to this very day.
Excellent one - having a similar soon
I congratulate you and wish you the very best of luck!!
Thank you! She is over 3 now though :-)
So is mine! :0)
So we get the origin story of @meeterboom the writer! I gotta have to give that a read, so that I could inch closer to your skill level, my man. Best of luck in the challenge! I can't believe it's up to 33 now.
I know, it's crazy to think it's at 33. It's a steemit institution!!
I think it definitely affected me. You gotta read it!! That and wildly conversely Altered Carbon which is born and miles away from it. My two biggest influences lol!!
I have those queued in my tabs now. By next month, it'll be like you're reading your own work on my posts haha Kidding! Or am I? :/
I will have to go look it up!
Oh it's great it really is!!
"The Monkey's Paw"? Very scary story! We studied it in high school!
In this case it's cute not scary!
@kus-knee (The Old Dog)
Same here, high school reading was often quite dry but we looked at this one and I was amazed!!
Yes I agree, the one above is splendidly unscary :0)

Tack. min vackra dotter lilla fot!
