Back when I was on Reddit, I used to love writing for r/TheMonkeysPaw, and I was even somewhat of a purist. You see, the original story (which I highly recommend reading) wasn't based around granting your wish with conditions (i.e. you win a million dollars, but there's some unrelated condition to it), but rather the wish was to be grated in the most disturbing and ironic way possible (i.e. you stumble across a case of stolen money, and are tracked down by the police and sentenced to life in prison for bank robbery in connection with the money).

Not that granting a wish with conditions is necessarily bad, but I feel like it's a lot less creative, hence why I enjoy writing in the spirit of the original story. I haven't gotten to exercise my creative writing juices in awhile, so it was fun finally getting another chance! :3
