The Rains

It’s hot. It’s really, really hot. And dry. So dry that your skin cracks and bleeds and your hair falls out in clumps. You’re always thirsty, but there’s never any water to drink. Just sand – endless, merciless sand. That’s what it’s like to live in a desert. It’s like being in a furnace. Your throat is so dry that it feels like it’s on fire, and your tongue is swollen and sticky. You can’t think about anything else but water – cool, refreshing water. But no matter how much you drink, you can never quench your thirst. You’re desperate, and you’ll do anything to get your hands on some water. My son has never had a glass of water and he’s about ready to take The Test. The man in the picture is me. I am a business man from San Diego. We are now in our 4th year

The Test

The boy wakes up from bed, anxious about the test he has to take today. He gets dressed and heads downstairs, where his mother is already making breakfast. She can tell he’s nervous, so she tries to encourage him with a smile and a few words of wisdom. “You’ll do great,” she says. “Just relax and do your best.” He nods, but he can’t help feeling a little bit scared.

The train station is a busy place, with people coming and going all the time. There’s the sound of the trains arriving and departing, and the chatter of people as they hurry to their next destination. The boy takes a deep breath and tries to relax. He knows he can’t change the outcome of the

The Code

“Machine code is amazing! With machine code, you can control every aspect of your computer. You can tell it exactly what to do, and when to do it. You can make it do things that no other programming language can do. And best of all, machine code is fast and efficient. It runs circles around other programming languages!” “So why not learn machine code? It’s not as hard as you might think. With a little bit of effort, you can be writing machine code programs in no time. And who knows, maybe one day you’ll be able to write your own operating system or compiler!” It had been 2 long semesters. He, now a man, wondered why he chose this path for himself.
