Short Story 23 : The Speechless Speeches
The Speechless Speeches - T ABRAHAM
The days were turning into months and every teddy bear inside the shop are eagerly waiting to be taken up by a loving and caring household. There was a river near the shop and sometimes there was a gurgling sound coming from it and most of the times it flows without any noise.3.jpg)

Liddy started with her story about the river, ’The newly formed water droplets were entering the fast flowing river in which the flowing water is always unheard. No new noises and sounds are accepted by the already existing water droplets which formed the river. When these newly formed droplets were trying to enter the stream there was a gurgling sound made by them. All the existing water droplets asked, ‘Who are you? Why are you making the most irritable noise?’. The newly formed water droplets did not answer them but continued to flow. Suddenly there were a few bubbles formed when they had started to get into the river. Bubbles were forbidden by the river and it started to threaten the new water droplets, ’If you are going to form bubbles in the stream I will change my direction and would eject all of you towards the river affected by the factory effluents’. The newly formed water droplets replied, ‘We didn’t do anything, it was the rocks and sand which were clinging on us while we seeped underground’.
The river did not accept their words and was planning to silence them forever. ‘I only want silence to be maintained in my stream. There should be no speech made and no noise as well. The communication is always speechless and such water droplets are trying to change these things. I am going to change my direction and land them straight into the factory effluents’, thought the river.
On the very next day there was a change in the course of flow. The speed and direction of flow was suddenly changed. The new water droplets were panicking. The old water droplets thought that defiling the new ones will only harm them and not the older ones. It was in the middle of the night when the stream of water reached the river affected by the factory effluents. They reached the place with full of gurgling sounds and more bubbles were formed when the river had started to flow into the contaminated water. The newly formed water droplets were contaminated with the deadly chemicals and it did not stop with that. The older water droplets also started to fall into these chemicals and the river was unable to control its flow and the whole of the river went straight into the contaminated water body. ‘Finally we too are dead’, cried the river as all its water flowed straight into the affected stream.
The reaction of the river towards the speeches of the new water droplets and its evil actions resulted in the fall of the whole community. Finally the river was bubbling and gurgling forever with the irreversible contamination’.
By the time Liddy completed her story, there was a crazy kid nagging his father to buy him some toys. His father looked at the teddy bears but he knew that his son would tear them into pieces in a few days. So, he did not purchase any teddy bears and left the shop. All of them were relieved because they did not want to live and die in the hands of a monster.
