Life with an Idiot
As punishment for not working hard enough, authorities force “I” to live with an idiot. He chooses Vova from a lunatic asylum; Vova can speak only one word, “Ech.” At first Vova behaves well, then becomes disruptive. I and his wife move to another room, but she falls in love with Vova and becomes pregnant by him. Vova and I turn against the wife; Vova kills her, and I becomes an idiot.
