The Magic Guitar
It was a crazy night. I didn’t know how much trouble I could get in, I knew LSD was illegal, but I didn’t know EXACTLY how illegal it was, or how rare it was to end up at parties, let alone people doing it. I had no idea. The back of the sheet had a painting, that Jerry Garcia did himself, so I knew that it was made with great care and love. I did it before a number of times, this was one of the most memorable, I had a sheet, and word spread through town that I was the man to talk to, within an hour, I had people I’d never met before who knew my name, and what they were looking for. I was 17, but I was far away from being in school, and the people I was hanging out with were still in school, and not quite used to this drug.

The Man in the Dark Trench Coat
I sat in the back. I was told that I could observe and so that’s what I did. The woman with red manicured hands to my left gripped her Hermès bag and looked at me through the corner of her eye, she tried to be discrete, but it didn’t work. A moment later she zipped it open and pulled out a compact to powder her nose.

System Online
And so the very thing his government forced him to create would be their doom. Li unplugged the drive and continued running down the corridor -he had to make it to the south-west door if he had any chance of leaving the facility, let alone the country, alive. After running for what felt like way too long, Li could finally make out the door at the end of the hallway. It was a solid metal door with a code activated lock and a terminal beside it. Li plugged his hard drive into the terminal and fired up his bypass program. Five percent. His heart racing, he glanced behind him, squinting to see as far down the corridor as he could to make sure none of the guards were aware he had left. Although his plan was perfectly executed, he still had no idea how long his simple deception of looping the security feeds would work. Li turned back to the terminal: twenty percent. The real genius was in his undetectable virus that he planted in the facility's network, and then ultimately every computer. He had turned the entire building into a mining operation that sent all of the rewards to one Virtual Wallet Address; his. Checking the terminal again he saw it was only at fifty percent. Li might have been impressed by the software encryption on the door had it not been the only thing between him and freedom. In the 6 months and 18 days he was kept here, he managed to accumulate 1.2 million Bitcoins by letting his virus work, all of which were stored on the hard drive in his pocket; He wasn't going to leave them a single coin. Seeing the terminal was at eighty percent, Li fired up his second program, Blackout.EXE. He smiled when he pressed the execute button, happy with the name he coined for his death-to-all-computers program. Both programs would finish at the same time, one would open his door to freedom, and one would ensure he was untraceable. Blackout.exe was simply a time bomb that would render every computer in the facility useless after 72 hours; enough time for him to be out of the country. Ninety-eight percent. Li braced himself against the door, his ear up against it, ready to burst it open and make a run for the horizon. His wife and two children were waiting for him in their jeep just passed the horizon under the cover of trees. He had been dreaming of seeing his family for too long, and he was going to make sure that in completing his work, his family would live a peaceful life where they would never be separated again.

Mysterious Notebook
As I look through all of my dad's belongings, trying to hold back my tears, I see a strange notebook on the floor of the attic. It has been three months since my dad passed away and I am finally able to sort through the things left to me in his will. So here I am, in a hot attic a few weeks before my birthday, looking at a bunch of junk that my dad never threw away. Yet, this notebook does not look like junk. I bring it downstairs and sit on the couch to look at it. It looks like whatever is in it was quite important to my dad. The front of it has a weird title on it called 'Bitcoin'. "Isn't Bitcoin that virtually currency?", I think to myself. "Why would dad have a notebook with 'Bitcoin' on it?". I never thought of my dad as savvy with technology. I had to set up his first smartphone for him and teach him how to use it. So for him to have something potentially connected to Bitcoin is intriguing. Once I open the notebook I am shocked at what I find. The first page is packed with names and contact information, but the one that sticks out the most is 'Satoshi Nakamoto'. I have never heard of this name before, so I take out my phone and dial the number underneath the name. "This number does not exist? Why would my dad have a number that does not exist?" I say to myself. That is when I start to flip through the pages of the notebook and a piece of paper falls out. The paper says:
