X+Y Chronicles : Attempt on Appeasement

So, here I was holding the mark-sheet in my hands which was struggling for its life and sniggering from inside was my arch-enemy which looked quite contended with the two zeroes right besides it (He thinks it is adding up to his value, what a sucker!). On my way back home ,while I pondered about the implications and ramifications(most of which were about escaping the inevitable pyrotechnics of ass-kickings  that were to follow) and nothing devious came to my mind(I guess its about time I stop listening to R.E.M), and everywhere I look I find the darkness spreading and engulfing light of the logical reasoning and converting it to a synonym of mathematical reasoning ,it has been spreading like a malignant cancer, corrupting the system with its numbers and operators, making itself look and be perceived as convenient(convenient my ass!)  And it’s incurable now (bravo! what an epiphany).

I tried checking the time and the numbers were sneering inside from the watch, I tried to relieve myself of the starvation at an eating joint, a big number was smack-banged onto my face, I tried to register my existence in the world and I was stamped with a number, I am nothing but a number, We all are merely numbers intermingling and living in a labyrinth now controlled by Lord Mathematics, that was my moment of articulacy. I had no chance against this overlord and somehow or the other it has successfully made a way through my life-line and corrupted it too (ah, the horror).

The first thought that came to me was all my life I have fought this callous tyrant and I will never succumb to his ways and die as martyr but saner minds prevail. So, I have decided to actually mend my ways with him and reach on an appeasement in which I will have to study and he will endow me with numbers that would redeem me from my present condition. Seems like a sweet deal, let us just see how it turns out be (and f.y.i, I’m still getting my ass-kicked).
