Title : STUCK IN THE WEB
A file lost in the world wild web…
Characters : User
Miles
Gcook
Y2K Army Chief
User couldn't wait to start off on his science project. He quickly
creates a new text file and logs on to the internet. Meanwhile, on the
hard drive, a new file is welcomed. Miles, the newest member of the
ever increasing 'txt' family, is given a warm welcome at 2nd Platter
on the hard drive, next to the Nero's and the Adobe's.
In no time, he leaves his home in search of friends. As he wanders
through the lanes, a bright beam of light catches his eye. He follows
the beam and unknowingly enters the internet channel. Looking at so
many people, carrying packets, he is completely astounded by the
enormity of the place he is in. Miles asks one of the men carrying the
packets,
"What is this place?"
"This is the web. Please excuse me but I need to deliver this packet to Yahoo,"
He learns that in order to go back home, he has to find his way into a
channel that connects The Big Lane to the computer in which he was
born. He can reach the 2nd Platter only if the channel is open. To top
it off, there is no way to find out if the channel is open or not.
Miles befriends a cookie, named Gcook. He works for Google and knows
almost everything about the Web, except how to help Miles. But, Gcook
decides that he wouldn't rest till Miles reaches home. And so,
together, they travel through the Web, discovering mind-boggling
things and meeting the weirdest of people, doing the wildest of
things.
In the midst of all this, somewhere, far away from where Miles and
Gcook were, an army was being trained. An army of trojans, viruses and
worms, calling themselves 'The Force Y2K', were being programmed to
attack every channel existing. It had attempted to capture the Net 8
years ago, but was crushed miserably. But things were different this
time. They were not going to attack by force or by sheer numbers.
Cunning attack methods and smarter programming meant the army had a
much greater chance to take over. The Y2K army chief was not going to
accept defeat this time.
Miles didn't have the faintest of idea of what lay in store for him.
Was Gcook really what it was? Is Miles ever going to reach home
safely? Or is the Net coming to a disastrous end? |
