Daisy/Myrtle Dystopia Cyber Future Highschool AU (CHAPTER 1!!!!!!!)

Image
    Myrtle was not an ordinary girl. She must have seemed to be just like every other girl living in the dark, somber dumps of the Valley of Silicon. Dirty, cold, shabby, sick, ugly, and very, very, poor. But alas, Myrtle was different than them all. When Myrtle woke up late one morning in May in coeval with the sound of pounding MegaHail, as seasonal weather had long ceased to exist for centuries now, she hurriedly got out of her SleepPod and rushed out the door. She was so rushed that she forgot to put on her Supreme Hydrophobic Hailcoat. She’d been meaning to buy a new one for a while, but hadn’t quite found the funds nor the time. Her old coat was practically ancient, and couldn’t even connect to the 286g Wi-Fi towers which have reined fully over the entire area since they were released last week. Myrtle was certain she wouldn’t be able to obtain even 10,000,000 emojicoins for that old thing, scarcely enough buy a bag of roasted cockroaches, which sounded prett...

Among the Ash Heaps and Millionaires

       By now, it has been over 101 years since the Great Jay Gatsby was killed. Yes, he was killed after the moment when Daisy cried, "but I loved you too".     Gatsby was a character who chased after the things he believed were most beautiful in the world - wealth, status, Daisy - yet like Nick says, Gatsby "shivered when he found what a grotesque thing a rose is". Gatsby's perspective he kept from when he was a naive teenager shaped what he valued and what he believed would bring him happiness, even though Daisy isn't happy at all. She cries all the time. She is even shown crying on the cover of the book, the green light which Gatsby sought for all his life being nothing better than a lone green tear.     Tragically, Gatsby tries to hold onto the past, because he is a creation of the past. He never learned to change, or see how Daisy changed. Daisy was no longer the joyful idealized girl she was when she was younger. Her completed mar...

Types of poems you can write to help you reach your 250 word count

Types of poems you can write to help you reach your 250 word count  If these poems helped me, they can help you too!          1. The one that expresses your deepest, darkest, hidden emotions:                   The wind is calm, yet my heart is raging,         Churning out storms that could reach Bei Jing.         It goes “ring, ring, ring!” — but there’s no one on the line         Except an empty stomach having a very good time.         When the world goes dark and my vision gets blurry,         I run outside the house in a puking hurry.                   To lay down on the lawn without any pants                   And fall asleep while eating some ants....

      The strength of a cryptographic algorithm depends upon several factors. Of course, these algorithms all depend upon a computer's favorite food: math. Now, imagine you are back in your high school math class. The first problem you solve is quite easy, because all you need to do is plug in the given numbers into a formula. However, as you continue solving problems, you realize the answers you're getting aren't making any sense. You can't just use the same old formula again; each problem requires you to derive a new formula in order to solve it. This unpredictability strips you of your shortcut method towards solving a problem. This is the utility of random numbers -- numbers which all have an equal probability of being selected. Suddenly a nefarious hacker thinks she's cracked an algorithm at last, yet the algorithm is being regenerated randomly, leaving the hacker to drown in a sinking pit of cleartext . Perhaps you don't think about this too much, but bein...
