Today I went to
Wonderland, and had a nice party because by an amazing coincidence it
was my unbirthday! Amazing huh? Anyway onto the flash fiction!
The Truly
Loneliest Number
One isn't the
loneliest number. One is quite popular actually. He's number one!
First place! The hit single! He couldn't be better off. He smiles all
day and could laugh and mock the unpopular numbers. Even negative
one, his pessimistic brother loves him. (It's a stereotype that
negative numbers are pessimists.)
No, the loneliest number is called i
by mathematicians. That
little italicized letter stands for the square root of negative one.
An imaginary number. How lonely is a number when it's imaginary? Why
the only way more imaginary numbers happen is by multiplying it by
that one. So it can only be with itself. Mathematics is a strange
place, the number so lonely it can only be with itself.
Well
zero is also real and imaginary, but who wants to hang out with him?
He's nothing to talk about.
