This story was written by my friend Peter. It’s the fifth installment in the Short Story series and only uses words from my Short Story 4, counting multiplicity.
Zhou was falling back from a year of flashcards and tired of frequently eating instant noodles. He decided to idly do crazy math problems for a month. “11!-7!, …” Zhou screamed and threw a flashcard mountain on his head. “So Zhou-over,” Zhou muffled.
Zhou called Lin in flashcard review gear, freaking out from his grueling work. “Great, I can show up in around 7,” whispered Lin. “I ran a large 11-SAT videogame for some time.”
11 time later, Lin finally reached Zhou’s house. “Sorry I’m always arrived belatedly.” He crumpled down on the shoebox to meticulously make a road to life success for Zhou. “Promise a break before you’re terminal crazy,” Lin called anxiously.
Zhou settled down and laughed. “Fancy a flashcard round this night?” “Yes,” Lin chuckled, “with lots of exciting food and cards?”
And from that day onwards, Zhou was a little bit better at achieving his important flashcard items.
