Challenge of the Week CLXVI
Stupid. What is it to be stupid? What a stupid question. Is stupid even logically coherent? Write about stupidity, or about something stupid; but don't write something stupid. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.

Paid for utter stupidity

One group of thirty families was there. They used to have get-together once in a month. One month it used to be in one house and next month it used to be in another one’s house. Like that it was going in circular fashion. Once it was in Surekha’s house. She told,

“By the side, my sister-in-law’s house is there. Some days ago it caught fire and all the family members died except one boy.”

Aish: When all his family members have died, alone what he will do? You set him also afire. You only will get that side land also.

Syma was looking at Aish with awe. Aish didn’t extend eye contact and was cool and calm as if she hasn’t told any serious words at all. Still, 4 or five ladies were standing around and nobody talked anything. Surekha also didn’t talk anything. Everybody kept quiet.

After one year or so Aish’s son died in an accident. Syma got a flashback of what Aish told earlier. Syma felt that there is some supernatural power. Aish had to pay for stupid sentence she gave out in public. Whatever she told, the same thing happened to her only. She lost her son only.#
