Very cool. *G* But I'm confused... why is it called "Monkey's Paw"? I kept thinking it was going to have a bad (no!) twist ending, like the story called "The Monkey's Paw".
The reason I called it that was that at first, anybody would think that the power to make people feel good simply by touching them would be a fun, positive thing. Dom didn't find that to be so - people took advantage of it when he was younger, and it traumatised him rather. The title came first, and the story followed.
So a twisty beginning, rather than a twisty ending. Hope that didn't detract from the story.
