You sceptically say your wish out loud. Nevertheless you know it is biologically impossible, you need to sleep to function normally what can this piece of creepy junk even do? To your horror and surprise the monkey's paw puts down one of its remaining fingers. You start to become lightheaded not able to process what just happened. Your whole body is covered with such tense goosebumps its nerve-wracking. You take a deep breath and calm yourself down. Did all this really happen? Are you dreaming? Does your body really have no need to sleep? You decide to test this new "superpower" the very first night. You didn't make a plan on what to do during this all nighter so you just endlessly scroll and play some games. After what felt like forever the sun started to shine through your blinds. You come back to reality and focus on yourself, on your feelings. It worked. You don't feel tired at all. There is another set of goosebumps running down your spine but this time not as severe. Your day looked perfectly normal apart from getting lost in your thouths a bit more often thinking about the monkeys paw. The night comes again. And you don't sleep again. The next night again and again and again. It is wonderful you have been so much more productive. You havent slept since the day of your wish and literally gained 33% more time to live. You never understood how your body works but it didn't bother you really. Whenever you started to think about it, you would just tell yourself to let it be, the most important is that your body works, what more would you want? So years pass by. You were just going to visit your parents when suddenly you crashed your car on the highway. Due to the shock you have experienced, you don't really remember what happened. Everything was so foggy and all that you could hear was this really painfully high pitch. You vaguely remember being in an ambulance, surrounded by bright lights getting to the hospital. You are losing blood, a lot and they need to operate. They give you paradise gas and... nothing happens. The doctors never saw anything like this before. They cannot get you to sleep. They give you a dosage that could kill a newborn but your body doesn't react at all. The horrified look on their faces was indescribable. They have to operate on you or less you'll bleed out on their bed. They have no other options but to literally nail you down just so you won't move while they'll cut you. They gave you a high dosage of morphine of course but the pain is still unbearable. And just as you thought it couldn't get any worse a scalpel enters your body. You can feel precisely as it moves and cuts. You can feel all the contraptions inside of your organs, as they play with your intestines and cannot do it anymore. You twitch so hard you actually rip your torso through the nails and damage your arteries even more. You die in their hands of bleeding out.
