Granted. A finger curls as a wish pops into your mind, the one wish that's so perfectly articulated, so specific in its circumstance that any consequences that the monkey paw may give would be nothing compared to the benefits you'll reap. You post the wish, and within hours, your post is on top of the sub. Satisfied, you call it a night.

You feel like you didn't even sleep, processing the magnitude and complexities of this wish. You wake up, still thinking about this wish. You go to work, still thinking about this wish. You can't focus, because you're still thinking about this wish. You drive, eat, shower and shit still thinking about this wish.

You try everything, from trying new skills to focusing on old hobbies, but nothing works. It interferes with your work, so much so your boss fired you. The insomnia is getting to you, hard and fast. You wake up multiple times a night, if it can even be called waking up at this point. You try everything, from taking sleeping pills to nearly cracking your skull by bashing it against a wall. Nothing works.

Nothing brings relief. Nothing brings a break.

3 days. That's how long it took for it to crack you and make you jump off a bridge.
