Storyboard Text
- As he walked through the cemetery, scared of what he may face, he saw a creature coming out of a tomb.
- Out came a tall, mysterious, ghostlike man.
- Oh dear god, are my eyes failing me?
- Narrator loses consciousness
- As he begins to gain consciousness, the narrator notices his whereabouts and the man approaching him
- WHERE AM I?!? WHAT ARE YOU?!
- You're safe here don't worry.
- Walpurgis Night! He had then realized what the creature in front of him is, a ghost!
- WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!
- I am not going to hurt you, I saved you from the outside world.
- It's very unsafe to be out there, especially tonight.
- He stopped to think for a moment.
- Could he be the one that saved me from that white mass?
- Why are you here? What is the purpose of me seeing you?
- I am a ghost, I am here to save and help you.
- You don't know me, but I'll tell you about me.
- So then the ghost began to tell the narrator about himself.
- My name is Herbert White, I was killed in an accident at work but it was caused by my father's wish for more money.
- Confused with how a wish for money could kill him, he asks:
- How is the wish the cause of your death?
- My father had a friend visit us. That friend had found something called The Monkey's Paw. This paw grants a person 3 wishes.
- We were warned that the wishes come with consequences, but we didn't believe it. My family and I were greedy and wished for 200 pounds.
- After my father wished for the money, nothing happened, we went to sleep and believed that we were lied to.
- The next morning, I was making jokes and laughing at how ridiculous we were to believe a paw could grant us wishes.
- Little did I know, I would go to work that day and get caught in the machinery.
- Still confused on how the wish caused his death, he asks:
- Again, how did a wish that wasn't granted cause your death?
- I was getting to that part! The company I was working for held no liability but considered my hard work and compensated my parents with a sum.
- He realized what happened, and asked:
- Is that how you got the money you wished for?!
- Yes, thats when I realized my father's friend wasn't lying about the consequences
- My parents were taught two huge lessons when they lost me.
- What are they?
- To not let greed influence your decisions.
- And to always listen to the warnings people give you.
- He then realized what had gotten him in this situation was not listening to the warnings given to him.
- I have to leave, but I hope you take what I taught you into consideration.
- Thank you! I will always keep what you taught me.
- Before he had a chance to say anything else, Herbertdisappears and he loses consciousness.
- He wakes up and finds himself back in the cemetery, a wolf on top of him.
