Hacker accident

Alex's feet were shaking, but his hand movements were calculated and precise. He was so close, so close to hacking into one of the, if not the, most popular global internet communities, which had such good security system that even some countries used it.

He was so close... so close. So close to somewhat cyber world dominance.

Alex had made sure that nobody would disturb him.

He had food rations (okay, müsli and power bars and three bottles of cola) next to the computer- close enough to reach, but out of the way so they wouldn't distract him. The hacker had made sure the doors of his tiny apartment were locked, the doorbell was 'out of order' and his phone was turned off. Nothing, and he meant nothing would stop him.

He was going to do what no-one else had done before and he was going to do it with style. Or atleast with an attempt at style, he wasn't exactly the most stylish person on the earth. Or his country. Or his town, house or even apartment. Okay, he was extremely geek-ish and was in a serious need of a makeover, but right now wasn't exactly the time to worry about that. He had a ultra special server to crack.

As Alex was working his way around one of the more complicated firewalls, he didn't notice that he was receiving a new file.

When he took a small pause after finaly cracking the firewall and ate a power bar, he absentmindedly clicked on the file, not having even slightest idea how much he would curse himself and the file that was named for next few months.

You see, the moment he opened the file, a small window popped up, flashing red and blue constantly. Alex immediately threw himself to the computer and tried closing the window as he had a hacker plan to return to, but when he closed it, two more jumped out.

The young hacker was confused. Now that he thought about it, he hadn't downloaded anything, and he had one of the best anti-virus programs that were available, and he had actually tweaked it so he could proudly say that it was practically impossible to hack into his computer.

What was the hacker supposed to do? He could put his plan of cyber world dominance on hold, but the site he was trying to hack in had quite a lot of people, mostly professional hackers and really smart scientists, working for it, so they improved their firewalls and protection all of the time. And, even if they hadn't noticed his intrusion yet, it was only matter of time.

Also, Alex had made sure that his adoptive aunt wouldn't disturb him today or tomorrow, but it probably wouldn't work another time. And he still hadn't worked out what to say to her about his imaginary girlfriend.

What should he say her when she calls him after tomorrow and asks for all the juicy details? Well, the youngster had more important problems right now, and his aunt anyways had way too crazy imagination. Lily would most certainly think something up by herself.

Alex decided to try to close one of the windows one more time. Even if more of them popped up, he would have atleast tried. And the blinking of red and blue was getting on his nerves.

To Alex's surprise instead of two more blinking windows jumping out on the monitor it was Google Chrome that opened.

"Umm... okay..." Alex said to himself. The hacker knew that speaking to himself wasn't exactly good, but he was pretty sure it didn't indicate he was insane. It wasn't like he had hallucinations speaking with him. And he just voiced his opinion out loud without really speaking to anything or anybody...

Back to present, Alex bit his lip and read whatever page the could-be-virus had opened. It had an awfully long and complicated url- and he seriously didn't care about it or the window, the hacker just wanted to return to doing what he had been doing before this strange occurrence- to hacking.

So, he obviously tried closing the window- after all, it seems to be somewhat common sense to close the window if you don't want to use it. Only it didn't seem to work like that this time- when Alex clicked on the [X], Google Chrome asked if he really wanted to close it. After clicking on [Yes] his internet browser asked him if he was sure. Slowly growing impatient Alex clicked on [Yes] again, and this time Google Chrome asked him if he was sure that he was sure he wanted to close it. Alex cursed and clicked on [Yes] one more time, hoping it would finally close.

His hopes weren't fulfilled- instead it asked if he wanted to do something else on Google Chrome before closing it. Alex gritted his teeth and clicked on [No]. Again, his internet browser asked him if he was sure. The hacker groaned and decided that he had had enough of this stupidity. And yes, stupidity is a word. My spellcheck said so.

Alex pulled his interactive keyboard closer and pushed all the right buttons- cltr alt delete- and awaited the task manager to open.

Sadly (for him), it seemed like the guy couldn't catch a break. Instead of opening the task manager, his software asked if he really wanted to open it.

Alex gave up. He clicked on [No] and read the page that had been opened on hopes of getting a hint on how to work around the maybe-probably-virus. The youngster didn't even think of just shutting his computer down or something similar- it could damage his computer, as the other programs he had used were somewhat dangerous if not tended to correctly.

To Alex's surprise he got his hint almost immediately- right after the tittle and in capital letters.

FINISH THE TEST OF DOOM AND THE VIRUS-THINGAMAJIG SHALL BE BEGONE!

Alex just stared for a moment. If it really was so easy, he would feel very stupid. And, although it could be a joke, he still decided to fill in the test.

The pool choices were simple but random, and answers mostly were yes/no or numbers, although sometimes he was given choices. Alex was asked how many socks he had, if he had read more than ten books in last year, if he had a shower, a bath, both or none and many after strange questions.

The more Alex filled in the test, the more he thought it was a joke and after answering the last question (dusk or dawn) he confirmed that he had read Terms of Service without much thought or even skimming trough them.

The moment Alex clicked on the proceed button, he started feeling very sleepy.

His eyes, no matter how hard he tried to keep them open, seemed to be closing on their own accord and his muscles felt tired all of sudden.

The strangest of it all, even his mind felt sleepy. So sleepy that Alex didn't even think on why he was feeling sleepy on 10 a.m., or why the sugar in his blood didn't do anything against his tiredness.

Alex was confused.

One moment he had been falling asleep next to his computer and next he woke up on some docks because some weirdo guy tripped on him.

The guy was wearing only swimming pants and a Hawaii type shirt, but that's not what made him think that the guy was strange, it wasn't even his blue hair. No, the guy (who called himself Franky) actually had a metal nose!

I didn't like this one as much as the previous one, but oh well.

I was blown away by the amount of views- I got 84 Views, 54 visitors and a review from the amazing Phalanx. :))

Funny fact that from 54 visitors 35 are from USA... Yeah, that made me feel a bit embarrassed about my outburst.

Next time: Teenage pregnancy.
