Doctor Chen's Computer

By Martin Sercombe 


Dr. Sarah Chen had always been fascinated by the mysteries of the universe. She spent her entire career researching and developing technologies to unlock the secrets of the cosmos.

However, there was one question that had always eluded her: ‘What is the purpose of life?’
For years, she worked tirelessly, studying various theories and philosophies, but all she ever found were incomplete answers and endless debates.

Frustrated, she decided to take matters into her own hands and design a supercomputer that would finally solve the ultimate question.

It took her over a decade to develop the machine, but finally, it was complete. The computer, which she named "Genesis," was the most advanced system in the world. It could solve complex equations that would take humans decades to unravel.

With a deep breath, Dr. Chen typed in the ultimate question and hit the enter key. Genesis whirred to life, its screens flashing with images and text.

For hours, Dr. Chen watched in amazement as the machine processed information, comparing countless theories and analysing billions of lines of code.

Finally, Genesis beeped, and a message appeared on the screen.

“The purpose of life is to discover the purpose of life.”

With an exasperated scream, Dr Chen shuddered in dismay,  realising that her work had only just begun.

  1. Every day, Sisiphus had the task of pushing a huge rock up a steep hill. Every day, he had no more that reached his goal, when the rock broke loose and rolled back down.
