The story ""Wet Blanket"", more than a typical fiction, is a hard-hitting narrative of the realities of prejudices, discriminations and homicide, and the monstrously distending obscurantist society at large, with barbarism as the consequence, and warranting befitting punitive actions to stymie those. The inert, apathetic and unresponsive people and systems tortuously empower the maladies to prolong - and the cascading brunt is woefully weathered by the innocents. Thus victimized to no bounds! As much - Wet Blanket is the tale that quivers every generation's middle class, mainly due to the happenings that are devastating, which makes every individual a cynic towards the world. It is beheld with negation, for the most hapless things that ensue. The plot wafts around the brewing issues of the ""ill-willed"" tendencies spread through brutality as a practice besides trending wrong messages against particular Sections & Gender of society, and indefensible Jingoism. Consequently, all violations and dereliction tend to be persistent against the pre-laid tenets of the ""World Human & Civil Rights"" towards life and existence with dignity. The diminishing essence of enthusiasm to live a life of dignity or killing the joy of living or the respect for life resonates as the metaphor - "Wet Blanket".
