Smoke in Jeopardy

Disclaimer: No Humans were hurt in the making of this story 

Finally, the verdict of the long-pending case, “City Burnt into Ashes,” came out yesterday. The case had been lodged by the local people of Jeopardy town, where a terrible fire broke out and destroyed a large part of the city center. There were no casualties or injuries; however, a group of Dragons had been arrested, suspected of the fire spreading. The tumultuous event had caused huge damage to state infrastructure and had rendered many homeless. While The Dragons have claimed this to be a Fair Deal, the whole of “Animal Kingdom” has criticized the event immensely, expressed their grief, and vouched to stand with the “Human Body” in the hour of need.

Though the “Human Body” had demanded to inflict strict punishment on the Dragons for this brutal incident, their demand was rejected. Instead, the verdict was given in favor of the Dragons; due to a lack of proper evidence and the sudden absence of the eyewitness.

The “Human Body” is outraged by the verdict, and many protesters have voiced their objections and claimed such a nuisance would not be tolerated. Public prosecutor Miss Mermaid who had been fighting the case on behalf of the “Human Body,” said they were not satisfied with the verdict of the Supreme Court, and they would appeal in “Almighty’s Court of Justice” in the following week. 

Although “Wildlife Committee” has expressed their heartfelt condolences but it is the misery of the “Human Body” that goes uncounted, be it the “Attack by Rafflesia,” Attack by Microbes, and Virus” or poaching of Human kids for their brains.

Sources say that the “Human Body” had even been threatened to control their exploring habits and keep their movements restricted only to the lands they have been allotted, as any further invasion can cause loss of human lives.

However, a group of Critics, on the other hand, said that the “Human Body” is reaping what they had sown and they are only responsible for their misery today; Activities such as deforestation, the decline in the indices of tropical forests, forest fires, depletion in the ozone layer, global warming, all these were a result of increasing human footprint on earth and overuse of natural resources which caused massive natural calamities in the past years. Over the years, “Animal Kingdom” has undergone suffering due to Human greed in the name of scientific advancement. Destruction of marine life by polluting water, killing animals rampantly even for fun, sports, amusement, or trade, and massacring flora and fauna, Human Beings have always rationalized their demonic activities as ‘evolution.’ As the “Human Body” is no longer at the top of the food chain pyramid now, they are repenting as they fall prey. Still, the world did not forget what had been done wrong!

But, with the increasing unrest around the city, everyone is scared that the entire civilization would be doomed again into the era of the Dark Age (Year: 2100-2200), which no one wants to talk about.

However, over the past few days, several groups have extended their help to the “Human Body,” who have lost all their possessions in the ravaging fire in town. Notable among them are the “Elephanta,” Unicornry,” Little Sparrows,” and” Stegosaurusia” groups who have worked day and night in the affected areas to bring back normalcy. In addition, one of the new groups called “The DODO” has gained prominence for its philanthropic work across Jeopardy.

As we stand today in the year 2300, with lessons learned from the past, a message has been sent from the State to all; “In this tough time, the state stand in solidarity with everyone who shares a part of this planet earth and a massive applaud to the front line workers whose efforts have enhanced not only the well being of all but have helped us to strive through difficult situations.”
