Short-Short: The Eccentric Method *Weekly Short-Short Note 1/11 Prompt

That day, a stellar cast of members had been gathered from all over the world.
A genius hailed as the second coming of Einstein.
A curry chef who loves curry and has mastered every dish that bears the name.
A birdman who can distinguish the calls of every bird and can replicate them himself.
People who could be called the ultimate eccentrics.
A total of over 100 eccentrics were gathered on a deserted island in Southeast Asia.
They were to compete in all sorts of challenges, and the last one standing would be awarded a prize.
Everyone had gathered here, hoping to strike it rich or to make their research known to the world.


I asked the old man who was watching the tournament through a monitor.
"Why did you open such a strange tournament?"
The old man stroked his long white beard and answered nonchalantly.

"Well, actually, there is no prize money. Seeing those guys who don't know that, trying so hard, is just hilarious."

(You're the biggest eccentric of them all...)
I sighed, but found myself captivated by the strange skills of the poor eccentrics.







I participated in this project.
