Hello readers! I usually write tutorials and articles about programming. But today, I wanted to switch things up and share a story with you. 'The Python of Revenge' is a gripping tale about a programmer who seeks revenge against a friend who forced him to learn a language he hated. I hope you enjoy this change of pace and the twists and turns of the story. Happy reading!
......................................
It was a typical weekday evening when Alex, a young programmer, received a phone call from his friend, Jack.
"Hey, man, what's up?" Alex asked.
"Just wanted to remind you that Python is the way to go," Jack replied. "You're wasting your time with JavaScript. Trust me, you'll thank me later."
Alex rolled his eyes. He had heard this argument from Jack countless times before and was not in the mood to listen to it again.
"I appreciate the advice, but I'm happy with my choice," Alex said, trying to end the conversation.
But Jack was not ready to give up so easily. "Come on, man, just give it a chance. You never know, you might actually like it."
Alex sighed. "I'll think about it, okay? I've got to go now."
As soon as he hung up the phone, the door to his apartment burst open and a group of masked men stormed in.
"What the hell is going on?!" Alex shouted, panicked.
One of the men stepped forward and spoke in a menacing voice. "Your mother has been kidnapped. If you want to see her alive again, you'll do exactly as we say."
Alex's heart raced as the man handed him a note. It contained a list of three apps that he had to build before midnight, or his mother would be killed.
"I can't do this," Alex said, his voice shaking. "I don't know how to code in Python."
The man sneered. "Then you'd better learn fast And don't even think about calling the police or trying to escape. We've cut the phone lines and sealed all the windows and doors. You're on your own."
With that, the men left, leaving Alex alone and terrified. He knew he had no choice but to try to learn Python and build the apps.
He searched his apartment for any resources that could help him, and to his surprise, he found a book on Python that he had never seen before. A note from the kidnapper was attached, informing him that this was the only resource he had to work with.
Alex's heart sank. He had always struggled with learning new programming languages, and he hated the idea of having to learn Python. But he knew he had to do whatever it took to save his mother.
"I have to sacrifice my brain cells for the sake of my mom," he said to himself, determined.
He spent the next hour frantically reading and studying the book, trying to absorb as much information as he could. Then, he sat down at his computer and began coding the first app.
The hours ticked by as Alex worked tirelessly, his fingers flying across the keyboard as he poured all of his energy into the task at hand. Finally, just minutes before midnight, he completed the final app.
But as he sat back to catch his breath, he realized that he had no way to send the apps to the kidnapper. The internet was also cut off, and he had no idea how or where to deliver the apps.
Exhausted and defeated, Alex collapsed onto his bed and fell asleep. When he woke up the next morning, he was surprised to find his mother standing at the foot of his bed, smiling at him.
"Mom! What are you doing here?" Alex exclaimed, sitting up in bed.
"I was invited to a friend's house last night and stayed there," she replied. "I had no idea what was going on until I came home this morning and saw all the police cars outside."
Alex's mind raced as he pieced together the events of the previous night. He couldn't believe that his friend Jack had been behind it all.
"He did all of this just to get me to learn Python?" he muttered to himself, still in shock.
Two years later, despite becoming a skilled Python developer thanks to the forced lesson from his friend, Alex still disliked the language and his job as a Python developer. He was unhappy and depressed, and he wanted to get revenge on his friend for forcing him to learn a language he didn't enjoy. Despite his initial reluctance, he had worked hard to become proficient in Python, but he still resented the fact that he had been forced into a career he didn't truly want. His unhappiness and resentment fueled his desire for revenge.
So, one day, Alex put his plan into action. He tracked down Jack's mother and, with cold calculation, kidnapped her. He took her to an abandoned warehouse, where he tied her to a chair and stared at her with a mixture of hatred and glee in his eyes.
"Do you know why you're here?" he asked, his voice dripping with venom.
The terrified woman shook her head, tears streaming down her face.
"It's because of your son," Alex spat out. "He forced me to learn a programming language I hated, and now I'm stuck in a career I don't even want. He ruined my life, and now it's time for him to pay."
As the woman begged for mercy, Alex reached into a nearby crate and pulled out a large wooden box. With a sadistic smile, he placed the box on the ground in front of the woman and opened the lid, revealing a writhing mass of snakes.
"These are pythons, just like the programming language that ruined my life," he said, his eyes gleaming with madness. "And now, you're going to join them in death."
The woman screamed as Alex shoved her into the box and slammed the lid shut, trapping her inside with the snakes. He stood by and watched as the pythons coiled around her body, their fangs sinking into her flesh as she writhed in agony.
As the woman's cries grew weaker and weaker, Alex reached into his pocket and pulled out a book on learning Python. He placed it on the ground next to the box and scribbled a note on a piece of paper.
"This is how bad Python can be," the note read.
With a satisfied smile, Alex walked away, knowing that Jack would suffer greatly when he discovered what had happened to his mother. His hatred and desire for revenge had driven him to commit a heinous crime, and he felt no remorse for his actions.
