the William Butler Yeats piece



Then one day, something (un)ethical happened. Both Stella and Sheldon were attending a conference on the effect of radioactive waves on people staying or passing close to power lines. Stella being a photographer wanted to know how her clients would be exposed by the gamma rays from her lenses. Sheldon being a theoretical physicist was just being at the right place at the right time. A study done in Denver Colorado had indicated that exposure to waves for a period of more than five minutes at a distance of 21 yards from the source had the effect of killing brain cells responsible for ‘thinking upright.’ A similar study in East Texas where Sheldon hails from had come up with totally different findings. The person who was to present the Denver Colorado findings didn’t show up. Sheldon had waited to confront him with his shoddy findings. As Sheldon waited for the good professor of radioactivity to come, he threw his morals and ethics out of the window and pulled a William Butler Yeats on Stella from nowhere. The William Butler Yeats piece became viral. A fire had been set ablaze. Stella saw the fire but didn’t know who had set it. It took her time. She thought of confronting Sheldon after he had been pointed out from a crowd. She held her horses. Sheldon set the fire when he was sitting next to one of his Jewish friends, the Slow One.  The Slow One didn’t know he had helped Sheldon with firearms.  He was that clueless or may be he just didn’t care that he had released the much needed info. You know how the Jewish don’t grasp things fast enough. All this time when firearms and intelligence was being handed over to Sheldon, Stella was just two or three arm lengths away. Chatting with her bestie who he later learned was called Aimy.
