A Scary Morning
It was 5am in the morning. I woke up from the abyss of a haunting dream, trembling with fear, my senses electrified by the lingering echoes of terror. With every breath, my chest heaved, the cadence of my heart pounding against the walls of my ribcage, as if desperately seeking escape from the clutches of the nightmarish realm that had ensnared me.
I sit up, and sauntered to the washroom. I turned on the tap, relentlessly splashing the freezing water onto my face, trying to calm myself down. I surreptitiously looked into the mirror, aghast. I recalled that I still had yet to complete my programming assignment that will be due this afternoon.
It's Just An Easy Assignment
With the fleetness of a gazelle, I dashed towards my desk, switching on my computer and adding in a final touch to my assignment and submit before it's too late.
吾有一術。名之曰「埃氏篩」。欲行是術。必先得一數。曰「甲」。乃行是術曰。
吾有一列。名之曰「掩」。為是「甲」遍。充「掩」以陽也。
除「甲」以二。名之曰「甲半」。
有數二。名之曰「戊」。恆為是。若「戊」不小於「甲半」者乃止也。
有數二。名之曰「戌」。恆為是。若「戌」不小於「甲半」者乃止也。
乘「戊」以「戌」。名之曰「合」
若「合」不大於「甲」者。
昔之「掩」之「合」者。今陰是矣。
若非乃止也。
加一以「戌」。昔之「戌」者。今其是矣云云。
加一以「戊」。昔之「戊」者。今其是矣云云。
吾有一列。名之曰「諸素」。
昔之「戊」者。今二是矣。恆為是。若「戊」等於「掩」之長者乃止也。
夫「掩」之「戊」。名之曰「素耶」。
若「素耶」者充「諸素」以「戊」也。
加一以「戊」。昔之「戊」者。今其是矣云云。
乃得「諸素」。
是謂「埃氏篩」之術也。
施「埃氏篩」於一百。書之。
With the submission of my work out of the place, I heaved a sigh of relief and sank myself into the plush embrace of the sofa, a sanctuary of respite. My weary limbs, burdened with the weight of perseverance, found solace in the cushions as I surrendered to the sheer relief that washed over me.
