Can You Write a Short Story That Begins with "It Started Drizzling and She Opened Her Bag."?

It started drizzling and she opened her bag. Her gaze falling through the clutter to find her keys. She reached in, blind to the child on her left.

Im sorry about this, I really didnt want it to go this way. The kid stuttered, her hands were shaking around the knife. She plunged the blade into the old womans side, her bag spilling its guts.

The girl grabbed her keys, the sirens closing in, she stabbed the ignition tearing the engine alive. She threw the car backwards out of the parking garage. She could hear the pigs pinning her in.

Her heart was beating into her ears. She took a hard left turn cars flying off in all directions. Speeding down main st.

dodging oncoming traffic. ATTENTION VEHICLE PULLOVER! The bullhorn echoed down the on ramp.

She swerved over, clipping the bumper of a semi truck flipping her stolen whip. Ejected from the car she hit the ground with a wet splat. The truck screeched and swerved but failed to miss the unconscious girl.

He could hear the crunch under the tires. He hopped out of the cab, vomit streaming out of his mouth. The cops came to a halt, examining what happened and questioning the hysterical trucker.

When he got home that night his wife cornered him at the door. His gut sank, tears welled up in his wifes eyes, Our daughter stole a car shes Her legs gave way and she crumpled in his arms.

How many requests per second can a simple Node.

js "Hello World" take?

OK, I'll bite. I don't know Node, and I haven't optimized anything for anything, so take this with a grain of salt (it is, after all, an ab benchmark of a hello world!

)."In the red corner, wearing a V8 engine and a standard library, NodeJS!"var http require('http'), fs require('fs');http.

createServer(function (request, response) fs. readFile("index. html", function (err, data) response.

writeHead(200, "Content-Type": "text/html"); response.write(data); response.end(); );).

listen(8000);n"In the blue corner, wearing lighttpd and php5-cgi, PHP!"

html');?>nn3500 req/s for Node versus 13600 req/s for Lighttpd. what the hell?

Node was giving it a 110%:nn.but that's not enough, considering I have a quad-core processor. Lighttpd was using it, but Node was not.

Let's fix that:var cluster require('cluster'), numCPUs require('os').cpus().length, http require('http'), fs require('fs');if (cluster.

isMaster) for (var i 0; i

readFile("index.html", function (err, file) response.writeHead(200, "Content-Type": "text/html"); response.

write(file); response. end(); ); ). listen(8000);nnOK, that's better.

Node is actually a bit slower, at 11400 req/s versus Lighttpd's 13600, but it serves requests more predictably - the standard deviation is lower, and so is the time to serve the slowest request (1.1 seconds for Node versus 3.6 seconds for Lighttpd).

EDIT 2: I thought this goes without saying, but this is a joke answer. No, streaming doesn't help, and neither does Express, and I will not install Apache or a JIT-ting PHP interpreter just to test it - stop looking for small flaws in the testing methodology of a "hello world", and go look at some real benchmarks of an app that makes sense :).

Can you write a short friendship story?

20th may the date was calling me. It was my best friend's birthday. We don't talk so often now days, me busy in life and she living far away from me but the days of our era were revolving just in front of me I remember days where everyone used to define our friendship with one word chuthiyas we actually loved it, we were best of friends like she was the first person to swipe off my tears whenever I was hurt, she was the reason of my happiness and reason behind my happiness.

I picked up my phone and dialed her number for the first time no one picked it and then the second time her mother picked it and I was able to hear her cry so badlyu201c aunty what happened, where's nisha?u201dShe was still crying and after a long gasp she answered u201cshe is looking us from heavenu201dThe world just stopu2026u2026.after a long time of realizing that aunty is still there on phone I replied u201cI m coming" those words from my mouth were the most difficult words I could have ever said.

I reached there everyone wearing white, crying ,throwing there bodies on her but I didn't.Aunty came and handed me a piece of paperu201cShe wrote it to u in her last breathsu201d I opened it and at that moment my first tear rolled down from the infinite sky of melancholy, I couldn't stop crying I just felt the world has ended it was unbearable.It was written iodiot don't bring your ugly face near my grave, this time I wouldn't be there to swipe off your tears from nisha to bithchu2026u2026.

Is the friend zone really real?

A Male view: Of course. Women are people; often (but not always) more social than the average guy.

Ergo, they quite often make friends, even male friends. Even male friends that they aren't sexually attracted to. There are a small subset of women you meet who _could_ be sexually attracted to you if you acted in a certain way, or could be friends if you acted in a different way.

What that way is differs from girl to girl. There may be commonality shared by many women (and similarly for men): confidence, health, stability, etc. , and if you're not having any luck attracting anyone these are reasonable things to work on.

That said, the flaw I see with a lot of friend zone reasoning is twofold:One: It ignores that women are different. To paraphrase, if all women liked the same guy they'd all be dating my grandpa. The same guy who might be tots hots to one women might thoroughly disgust another.

You can't be a man for all women, and trying to be just makes you fake. All you can do is best version of yourself you can be and find someone who likes that. Guys try to behave in a certain way to avoid the friend zone and then get mad when it doesn't work on a given woman, and that's about as lame as you can be.

Two: It presumes that for any given female who will be friends, there is something you could have done to get in her pants, and that by not doing that you Failed. I'll leave it to someone with a female perspective to express how insulting that must be.

What does it mean when your ex says hi to you?

My ex used to play this game of checking that Iu2019m still there but saying u201chiu201d. Itu2019s a nothing text. Keeping me there as back up but there was no way Iu2019d ever go near him again, but his self esteem needed to think he could still have me.

If he wanted to speak to me he could call, he didnu2019t he just texted crappy texts saying hi, how are you etc. I didnu2019t respond to the last two texts to see what he would do and he showed me who he was and what he really thought about me by unfollowing me on Instagram. I responded by blocking him.

He was trying to hurt me, he was a narcissist. I was under no obligation to respond to months of crappy hi texts. I then figured he was really abusive and controlling and this was another way to control me and get me to respond to his texts.

Someone who truly loves you even as a friend does not give up on you, he show me this behavior every time I did something to assert myself, he tied to control me and make his love conditional.look at how he treated you during the relationship and after the breakup, it could be about his ego and not really about wanting to contact you otherwise he would call or visit or text something substantial or meaningful. I suggest you ignore him or just play his game by giving him nothing more than a hi back

How can I just forget about my twin flame and move on with life?

This will require spiritual work- remember you are a sovereign entity and therefore you CAN dissolve contracts with others. It is extremely difficult- trust me. Had battled myself for few years with that.

But then I made a decision to let the pain end. I went to hypnosis and visited past lives and saw what would happen if I stuck around. It is then I realized that wishing them well and moving on was the only fair thing to ME.

so I began the journey. 3 daily practices helped me besides hypnosis:Pranayam- I mean REALLY do that- no slacking off. Listening to Shiva prayers through out the day and ask universe to dissolve this connection because I was and had been suffering for yearsJournalingI recovered rapidly.

I am at peace and when I think about this person, something within me tells me that this person was not ready and has more Karmic stuff to explore themselves. I am content and happy where I am.Hope this helps- If you suffering, at least give this a shot and see what happens :)** I prayed Shiva as he is a destroyer of bad things!

You can recite whatever prayers you are comfortable with. It is all about asking universe to show mercy.** My twinflame was immature and had lots of issues to resolve.

I let go of few very good opportunities to settle down and cannot keep being unfair to myself. If your life story is different then I wish you and TF success. But if not- May Shiva help you heal and lead you to better path!

Om namah shivay!

My husband never introduces me to the people at his family events so I just sit there in the corner all day. Should I introduce myself?

He may not realize that you dont know already know everyone. And the others may think you want to be left alone, or worse, might think you standoffish or uppity. So yes, you need to find ways to introduce yourself.

I have felt awkward in situations like this, because I am an introvert and grew up socially awkward. Then sometime in adulthood, the light bulb went off that EVERYONE experiences social anxiety, and that even the most outgoing of extroverts have bunch of schticks and introduction lines to get them talking to folks. So I developed my own schticks.

I find apologizing for my poor memory for names helps. Others dont remember names either, :) And they feel better admitting they dont remember mine. I always start with a smile and a comment on how good it is to see them again.

And maybe a comment about how it is supposed to take 35 times to remember a name but it seems to take 30 to 50 times for me. And you can also say things like I know I have seen you but I dont think my husband has introduced us or that we have been formally introduced.And in a hugging group where you seem to not be sharing many hugs, I find the line Hi, I am Mai.

I am shy, May I have a hug? often results in smiles and a hug. :)I offer to help in the kitchen, or distribute information.

Or just find ways to be helpful. Organizing a family event takes a lot of work, and help is always appreciated,
