A to Z Challenge 2020: Z is for Zero

Z is for Zero

Zip, Zilch, Nada, Nought, Nothing, and Nil. They all mean the same thing…Zero. Did you ever notice how useful the number zero (0) is? You can add or subtract it to anything and it doesn’t change what you started with. You can multiply it by anything and you’re left with it alone…zero!

If you‘ve been worked really hard, finished what you were working on, and you’re lucky, you’ll have nothing (zero) left to do and you can relax and enjoy the day.

It’s a great price to pay for things. “This is provided to you at no cost.” $0.00 means it’s free.

It makes you feel good when you have done something and get zero complaints. Of course, the opposite may be true if you get zero compliments.

It’s a great income to have when you tack it onto other numbers; the more the merrier. “Yesterday I spent $1 on a lottery ticket but today I was told I would get $1,000,000 for it!” 

Your computers heavily depend on it. Remember binary code is just made up of 1s and 0s. But the number one (1) doesn’t begin with the letter ‘z’, so we’ll have to leave our “Ones” discussions for another day. 

Zero – is nothing to scoff at. (btw: the pun was intended there)

 

And since this is the last day of the A to Z Challenge Blog for 2020, and I’ve completed all of my posts, I have ZERO things left to write!… Well, that’s almost true. Here comes the creepy number one (1) again. I still have to write one more thing: my A to Z Challenge reflections piece for 2020 is due some time in May.

Oh well, I hope you enjoyed all the pieces I wrote for this year’s challenge. Come back and visit again; there’s sure to be a lot more writing.

 

 

 

About hdh

I have been telling stories for over 40 years and writing forever. I am a retired teacher and storyteller. I hope to expand upon my repertoire and use this blog as a place to do writing. The main purpose is to give me and others that choose to comment, a space in which to play with issues that deal with storytelling, storytelling ideas, storytelling in education, reactions to events, and just plain fun stories. I explore some of my own writing throughout, from character analysis, to fictional, to poetry, and personal stories. I go wherever my muse sends me. Enjoy!
