The Forbidden Paw :: Creative Writing Examples

The Forbidden Paw Once, a very long time ago there was a crazy family that decided to go on vacation to Manakesh, Morocco. "What a dump! Why would Princess Grace live in a place like this?", the father asked in a curious way. "Dad, that’s Monaco.", the daughter replied with quite an annoyed tone to her voice. The family continued walking through the market, they saw a contortionist doing his acrobatic thing. "I can do that, but I don’t want to.", replied the misfit son. (Who was obviously lying out his @#$!) At the next vendor, the crazy dad saw a monkey’s paw, and he decided that he just had to have it. The vendor of that booth told him that it granted four wishes to whoever owns it. "Sir, I must strongly advise you. Do not purchase this. Behind every wish lurks grave misfortune. I myself, was once president of Algeria.", warned the aging old man. "Come on, pal, I don’t want to hear your life story. Paw me!", was all that the father had to say to him. The man’s wife was not pleased by his senseless and careless purchase. The wife asked where he had gotten that ugly thing. His reply was straightforward, "Why, at that shop right over†¦there?" (But all that was left was a gust of wind) The husband gasped and said, "Oh, no, wait, it was over there." As he pointed to the shop. And as the family was leaving, all they could hear was the vendor saying, "You’ll be sorry!" At home, the paw sat on the coffee table. The son wanted to wish for x-ray specs that really work. But the daughter decided she would rather wish for peace on earth. While they were arguing, the 2-year-old baby grabbed the paw and made her wish. A limo pulled up outside, and the father was very pleased, "Good Baby!" The driver brought her a shiny pacifier, then sped off. "Oh, MAN!", was all that the dad could say. The son decided he had waited long enough, and so he wished for the family to be rich and famous. The father agreed, "Now you’re talking!" Immediately, they were showered with money. The dad took the family to the fanciest restaurant in town, the Gilded Truffle. The maitre’ d showed them to their table†¦ As the family was enjoying dinner, the wife piped up and said that maybe fame and fortune wasn’t as bad as they say.
