"We are our choices" - Jean-Paul Sartre

Three wishes offered.
Each seems harmless.
Each carries a cost unseen.

In this episode of Dr Embers: Verse & Tale, W. W. Jacobs’ classic short story The Monkey’s Paw is read by the fire — not as a warning, but as a journey into choice, consequence, and the quiet danger of wanting without understanding.

This is a story about decisions made in hope,
 and the price paid when fate is asked to bend.

You are invited to sit by the hearth and listen closely —
 for not every wish reveals its cost at the moment it is made.

The Fire is Lit!
