+Mindcraftgirl 77 they wished their dead son back, his corpse was knocking at the door, old man used his third and last wish so the second wish never happened
I've yet to listen to this story, but I've been following the "New to
CTFDN" playlist and it got me hooked :) Great horror stories get
wonderfully (and to great effect) voiced and put you in the intended mood
for the story. Makes me want to write one myself (got inspired in one
concerning rats, won't say more) just to hear it performed, sadly I have to
battle a lot of lazyness to "get to compose" it. Also, my main language is
NOT English, but I've been studying it for 7 years now in college, and I
may have a copy of a story I wrote for a subject, concerning psychological
terror, but I remembered it being very short. I may have to edit that one
as well before submitting it, but let's say I might want to explore my
creative side with the motivation of getting a story so amazingly
performed...
Don't know how to feel about that :P I tend to hate grammar due to a tendency I have to connect to several ideas at once and the resulting loss of clarity, at least in writing
When I first heard this story via the Halloween Hangover episode from the
NoSleep Podcast, I was very intrigued! I haven't seen the entirety of the
movie that was released recently, but from what I can tell of it, it was
horrible, as far as having the source material correctly (or close to it)
adapted. This particular version was excellently portrayed! Peter Bishop is
awesome, just as he was when he narrated H.G. Wells' "The Invisible Man."
This story is definitely worthy of any horror fan's (make that bookworm's -
like myself) attention! To the late author W.W. Jacobs, you good sir, were
a great artist of the written word, like your compatriots of your time! :)
+Felipe Sandoval We do not believe Peter ever narrated the H.G. Wells story in question. Perhaps you're thinking of someone else? It is a fantastic story, though. Thanks for listening!
Don't mean to kill the story but why did he only ask for 200 pounds? lol,
that barely pays for like a week worth of expenses in many households! Come
on, ask for like 10 million or something if you can!!!
The story was published in 1902 so 200 pounds was worth a lot more then than it is today. Also, the characters didn't believe the paw would work, so the amount they wished for didn't really matter to them. The father said he thought they had everything they needed, so the son said to wish for 200 pounds probably as a random sum since he was just having a laugh.
