Prompt ….
Kapila, the reigning star of Bollywood was miserly and safety conscious. She employed Zeti (a talented psychic-detective) to screen her visitors. They were made to wait for her in this room – seldom suspecting it.
Once an influential fan forced his way in and as usual was made to wait. Mr Zeti screened the fan and found him accompanied by other-worldly beings with ulterior motives. The detective used his skills of pyrokinesis and melted the down-rod of the overhead fan.
The fan fell near the fan.
Since then all the fans are made to sit just below the un-repaired fan.

Alrighty then…
Thanks. 🙂
Ooh! Fancy employing someone with the power of pyrokinesis. I suppose as long as he doesn’t fall asleep and dream of using his power, he’s reasonably safe…
One must ensure to pay him on time. 🙂
Thank you.
Set a fan to catch a fan
🙂 Thank you.
What a lot of fans. Nice word-play!
Thanks a lot.
The trials of being a celebrity. Thanks for the prompt photo this week.
Not at all easy. Thanks & Welcome.
Hahaha, love the word play 😃
So glad. Thank you. 🙂
Wow! I imagine that detective is worth his weight in gold… as long as you keep him on your side?
If one needs his type. Thanks for dropping in.
Very cleverly written tale about celebrity. The word-play was great.

🙂 Thank you.
Ha! ha! Nice word play.
🙂 Thank you.
Lots of fans in the fun story!
Btw, thanks for this week’s photo prompt 🙂 I didn’t realise it was taken in India, so I ‘transferred’ it ti Mexico in my flash. One of my colleagues at work saw the photo this morning and said it reminded her of a poor area of Sevilla, Spain!
This could be anywhere – dilapidated buildings are quite ubiquitous. Thanks for the read and interest. 🙂
This puts a new light on fans and fandom. Beware of the fan.
I am sure somebody some where has the stats on accidents related to electrical fans.
Thanks for dropping in.
LOL. Loved your use of fan and such a fun story. Thank you for the prompt photo. It has generated some diverse stories.
Yes, I read some positive and fun pieces in spite of the creepy feeling that this pic gives.
Thank you so much.
i don’t know what to say. it just made me smile. 🙂
So glad. Thanks. 🙂
I am a fan.
Honored. Thanks for the read. 🙂
Loved the wordplay and got a kick out of the punch line. Thanks for the inspiration this week Yarnspinner! Who knew that old fan had 70 stories in it?
Thank you so much. Indeed who could have imagined the it had so many tales to tell. 🙂
Dear YS,
Clever use of the word ‘fan.’ Thank you for the photo.
Salaam,
Rochelle

Thank you. 🙂
A delightful play on words.
Thank you. 🙂
We’ve sure had some interesting puns this week. Nicely done 🙂
🙂 Thanks a lot.
I like the way you create a real sense of unease, in a subtle way- frightening things only hinted at. It makes for a gripping story.
Thank you so much. 🙂
Love the play on words in this, and such an original story. Really enjoyed reading.
Glad you enjoyed this. Thank you.
I imagine that a psychic-detective with powers of pyrokinesis would be highly sought after. Very creative take. Thanks for the interesting photo prompt this week. 🙂
I always thought they existed in paranormal fiction only but found some mentioned on the web too (seems a bit crazy).
Thanks a lot.
Weird and wonderful
There is nothing like fan fiction to bring in the readers. Fun read.
Thanks JM.
So that’s the mystery of the odd shaped fan! 😀 Kudos on a fan filled story 😉 Thanks for the photo prompt 🙂
🙂 Glad you like it. Thanks for the read and your interest.

That’s one way to deter those with bad intentions! Lovely, imaginative tale
Thank you so much.
My pleasure
The detective is not only psychic, but pyrokinetic. He sounds like a good employee. Liked the fan getting fanned.
🙂 Thank you so much.
