Friday the 13th the Series: Monkey's Paw

by Beetleboots

Based on the book The Monkey's Paw by W.W. Jacobs. The owner of the paw requires 3 souls, 3 people that would make up the characters of that story, Mr. White, Mrs. White and their son Herbert. Micki, Jack, and Ryan find themselves in 19th century England inside the story itself. While there they come face to face with their wishes, the wishes come with an enormous price.

6. Chapter 6

Chapter 6

The sound of a crowd cheering is heard. Ryan and Jimmy exit a baseball stadium, Jimmy carries a hot dog, and Ryan carries a bottle of beer.

"Can you believe our Twins, man."

"I still can't believe Roy Smalley struck out Dan Gladden for the second out."

"Right, that was insane, and when they won, you almost choked on your hot dog!" Jimmy says with a laugh. Ryan laughs after him. Jimmy takes a bite of his own hot dog. Ryan takes a sip of his beer and his smile slowly fades.

"What's up Ryan, you've been looking at me like that all night?"

"Nothing I just..."

"Hey, I got an idea!" Jimmy blurts out. He then takes a ball out of his jacket pocket. "How about a game a catch?"

Ryan looks at the ball. Written in sharpie reads: "To Ryan, from Jimmy"

"Here I'll go out here." Jimmy states and runs down the sidewalk. "Come on Ryan!"

Ryan sighs and puts down the bottle and holds his hands up.

"I'm ready Jimmy!" He shouts.

"Here it comes!" Jimmy shouts back and tosses the ball. Ryan catches it and looks at in his hands.

"Throw me a fastball Ryan!"

Ryan looks up at Jimmy.

"Come on!"

Jimmy smiles widely.

Ryan looks back at the ball.

"Ryan come on!"

He slowly looks back up at Jimmy with tears in his eyes. Jimmy shakes his head in confusion.

"I can't do this Jimmy..."

"Why not just throw it man?!"

"No...I don't want too."

"One throw!"

Jimmy holds up his hand.

"Here."

"I can't...because you're not Jimmy."

Jimmy glares at him and walks over to him.

"I'm everything you could have wished for right?"

"Jimmy..."

Ryan breathes heavily and holds back a sob.

"I've...I...want you with me more than anything else in the world... but you're not my brother...you're not James... James...James is dead..."

Jimmy suddenly grabs Ryan around the throat.

"And who killed him Ryan, it was you wasn't it little brother?"

Ryan begins to choke as the supposed Jimmy grabs him around the neck.

"Jimmy...Jimmy I'm sorry..."

"Look me in the eye and tell me you're sorry!"

As Ryan looks up at Jimmy, he is bleeding out of his mouth as he talks, and his eyes are pitch black. Ryan lets out a breathy scream and tries to pull away.
