Chase of the moment.

Chase of the moment.
Chase of the moment.

With her legs tied, she tried to get near the water jar, lifting it slowly so that no one could hear her. As she was drinking, there was a sudden thudding sound of the doors opening. A fully armored man with a large sword on his hip approached her. Struggling to get past her fierce look, he untied her legs and dragged her to the main hall.

"Did she say anything?" asked the rebel chieftain. "No! Not a word," replied the armored man. Angrily, the chieftain approached her face. "You will pay for your insolence, you dirty little pigs! You all will die at my hands! I will crush them to dust!" She waited silently for him to finish his words, then quickly kicked him in the groin. As he crouched back in pain, she shouted, "Only in your dreams, you little bunch of cowards!"  

"Hang her tomorrow! I need to see that for myself!" the chieftain shouted, still holding himself in pain.  

That night was silent. With distant howls, she could figure out that she was in the middle of a forest. She waited to face the next day's fate with courage. "I will not blame my king. I will never blame him. I know he is on his way to me. Tomorrow will be mine," she kept murmuring, hoping to see anything nearby to help her rescue herself. With both her hands and legs tied, after helplessly scrambling for a little time, she rested her eyes slowly.  

Creak! The doors opened silently just before dawn. She quickly opened her eyes to see a couple of women in scarves approach her. She saw them quickly cut the rope, unlocking her cuffs, and finally remove their scarves. Immediately, they knelt before her, saying, "My queen, we are here to help you. We are servants here, put in hardship. We were tortured, raped, and our families were abused every day. Not a day goes by without our eyes running with tears. This is the moment we have been waiting for, the time to save our people from tyranny, to regain the lost glory of our village, to quash the thorns, to hope for." Then they gave her directions to find the nearest stable. The queen dusted herself off and started to move while they were still kneeling.

She approached the stable without a speck of noise, slowly untied a horse, jumped on its back, and kicked it forward, pulling the front rope. Reminding herself of her horse-riding skills from childhood, she dashed through the front doors, leaning forward, racing fast on the streets of the village. Out at the lighthouse, there was a siren blaring. The rebel soldiers followed her at the same pace. Without anything else in mind, she sped towards a large roadblock, at least four feet high, never taking her focus off the obstacle. She kicked harder, raced faster.  

As arrows rained towards her, she neared the roadblock and made a big leap to land on the other side flawlessly. Leaning further, determined to outrun the others, she kept focused on her way forward in a fast-paced horseback chase, the group of rebels close behind.

The king, determined to find her, moved fast in the east direction, focused on a distant castle. As he was approaching, he could spot the queen approaching him fast, being chased by the rebels. Although he had a long history of destroying rebel territories all over the country, he could not resist the fact that they abducted his own queen. Moving fast, with his back bent forward as much as possible to keep up with the pace of his horse, he was determined to kill, but not instantly.

As the group of rebels, with their backs bent forward, chased her from behind, the queen—a far better horse-rider—pulled them towards her. As she was focused on the valley ahead, suddenly a large army appeared on the top of the valley like a huge blanket covering the green pastures, led by the king charging ahead towards her. She smiled at the sight in front of her, bent her back a little further, and moved fast towards the king. As the rush of the huge blanket of the army crossed the valley and approached the queen, the rebels, frightened by the spectacle, tried to stop their horses to retreat.

She sped fast towards the king, and as she approached him, she realized that he was focused on something else. She could see anger in his eyes. She crossed him and looked at the king charging further, faster towards the castle, chasing the rebels... till their end...

  The Balance Between Privacy and Convenience: A Perspective on Google's Tracking Practices Google often finds itself at the center of heated debates regarding user privacy. Accusations frequently surface about the company's practices of tracking user activities and allowing third-party cookies, stirring concerns about privacy. However, there's another side to this narrative that deserves attention. In my opinion, Google's meticulous tracking of user activities, rather than being a mere infringement on privacy, provides substantial benefits that significantly enhance user experience and convenience. Understanding the Concerns The primary concern surrounding Google's tracking practices revolves around privacy. Critics argue that the extensive data collection infringes on user privacy, creating detailed profiles of individuals' online behaviors. These concerns are not unfounded, given the potential for misuse of such data. The fear is that this information could b...

The Power of Enablement: Unlocking Productivity through Empowerment and Facilitation

  Power of enablement In the pursuit of peak performance, organizations often focus on setting ambitious goals and demanding results. While these are undoubtedly essential, they represent only one side of the productivity equation. The other, equally important, side is enablement – creating an environment where individuals have the tools, resources, knowledge, and support they need to excel. The foundation of enablement lies in understanding the power of "ease-of-doing." By simplifying processes, eliminating unnecessary barriers, and providing intuitive tools, we remove friction and empower individuals to focus on their core tasks. This not only accelerates their work but also enhances their job satisfaction and engagement. Equipping individuals with the necessary resources goes hand-in-hand with ease-of-doing. Access to relevant information, data, technology, and expertise is crucial for effective decision-making and problem-solving. When individuals have the right tools at ...

The Case for Synthetic: Embracing Human Ingenuity for a Better World

  The Case for Synthetic: Embracing Human Ingenuity for a Better World In a world often romanticized by the allure of the "natural," I stand firmly on the side of the synthetic. This is not a rejection of nature, but rather a celebration of human ingenuity and its potential to elevate our existence beyond the limitations of the natural world. My conviction stems from a deep belief in the power of evidence-based progress. While nature offers a foundation, it's often riddled with imperfections and limitations. Synthetic creations, born from meticulous research, experimentation, and refinement, hold the key to surpassing these constraints. Consider the realm of medicine. Natural remedies, while sometimes effective, are often inconsistent in their potency and safety. Synthetic pharmaceuticals, meticulously formulated and rigorously tested, have revolutionized healthcare, providing targeted treatments for a myriad of ailments, extending lifespans, and improving quality of life...
