Want to make a wish? Just ask the Monkey’s Paw! No strings attached.*

Just create a post that starts with “I wish ___”. Other users will then grant you the wish, and probably not how you intended.

Granted. You meet the love of your life. But as you greet them, you see their horrific death. Every day afterward, whenever you see them, you get flashbacks to their forthcoming death. Every time you kiss, you see death. Every time they say they love you, you see death. And because of all this, you never truly connect, and you miss out on experiencing true joy with someone.
