Zero

Still, if I hadn't just written *something* here, every possibility would have remained at zero. So maybe it's a good thing it at least avoided being a complete non-starter.

An image somehow came to mind: many hands touching a globe, spinning it round and round. Some hook it with their fingertips, others press their palms flat against it. The way they touch and the pressure they apply differs, but everyone's hands spin the globe.

Even if it seems kind of meaningless, maybe I end up having an impact on some unknown place, huh?
Well, truly, perhaps.

Praying that the sentences I wrote would bring in even one more customer, I turned off the computer.
Alright then, time to get back to work.
