Storyboard Text

  • Slide: 1
  • The monkey's paw is an opportunity for the Whites to seize any possibility in the universe, and satisfy their curiosity. It is also a way to interfere with fate, and because of this, they are severely punished. Fate is something that cannot be changed, and when the Whites attempt to change it with the paw, fate finds a way to set things right.
