“Furrfu, a Caesar cipher? Really? Did you learn cryptography from the back of a cereal box?”

“You misunderstand. This is not the classical cipher where each letter in your message is replaced by one three places later in the alphabet.”

“Good, because i could solve that one in my head when I […]

2026 Hier au souper — au dîner — l'aîné annonce qu'il va faire une demi sèche. Va-t-il devenir demi-gros ? De demi-gros au beurre demi-sel. Je sais. Ce n'est pas gentil. Pour le beurre. Facile. Trop peut-être ? Même pour Houellebecq ? Je n'ai rien contre Houellebecq mais il m'a donné du mal. Comme Camus. Mais il est mort. On ne dit pas du mal des morts. Alors c'est lui qui prend. Après c'est du _win-win_. Je parle de lui et passe pour un gars cultivé. La technique du bouc-émissaire. Classique. Universelle. Facile. Miam. Girard en vainqueur de _master chef_. La peste ? C'est Dieu — et Camus. L'homme ? C'est Dieu. Hitler ? C'est... La Fontaine — _La raison du plus fort est toujours la meilleure_. Girard en chantre de la mauvaise foi. La Fontaine en bouclier de Dieu. Hitler en chancre de La Fontaine. Dieu dédouané. C'est ça le libre-arbitre. Je m'allume une clope, _light_. Histoire de ne risquer qu'un demi-cancer. * * * #Blog #Fediverse #SmallWeb #Prose #MicroFiction #Absurde #Cynique #HumourNoir #Interférences #EcritureBrute #Fragment

Rith turned and flipped, turning its body into a flying pretzel.

The sphinx rolled her eyes, stretching her head and hind legs out, curving and flattening her body into a Möbius strip while keeping her wings steady in the middle.

Rith grumbled. "Stupid sexy Möbius sphinx."

Flux.2 Prompt
Stage of a traditional wooden puppet theater with a closed deep red velvet curtain, seen from the audience’s perspective. Above the stage, the friendly face of an elderly puppeteer with expressive eyes and a warm smile is visible, looking down at his young audience, partially hidden by the top frame of the stage. In front of the stage sits a group of children in simple everyday clothes, some smiling and cheering, clapping their hands with excitement, while a few children in the crowd have tearful faces, crying softly with visible tears. The scene is lit by soft, warm theater lighting that highlights the red curtain and the puppeteer’s face, while the audience area is slightly darker but still clearly readable. Graphic novel style, clean bold line art, stylized expressive faces, limited but rich color palette, subtle shading, slightly dramatic contrasts, detailed textures in wood and fabric, high resolution illustration.

Fabricated on (and largely /from/) the planet Mercury, its blast radius was 8 billion km—almost fifty astronomical units—comfortably enclosing the inhabited portion of the solar system. Within the affected zone […]

From miles away, Harper could smell Korgrad burning. Ash, smoke, and under it, flesh. Without telling Kalin in front of him, he sat the forest road and cried. Everyone he knew was dead or dying. He wanted to join them.

Links Across Years And Lives She perched on the end of the bed and inspected her reflection in the old, worn vanity mirror, and tried to remember when people started saying “you look so much like your mother”.

At this point I should probably have a section in my fiction for "literary", except I'm not sure stories like these count as "literary". I do need to find a good label for "fictional but lacks specfic elements" tho.

With demons, you gotta establish dominance right away. I put my pentagrams in the #corner of the room, upside down, so a summoned fiend appears with its back to me. Then it has to stand there like a punished child while I give it commands. Takes the fight right out of ‘em.

Chronique d'un carton Je suis tombé sur _La Chute_. Cent-cinquante pages, deux centimètres d'épaisseur. Maximum. Pas de quoi affoler mon oreille interne. J'ai peut-être la rate qui se dilate mais le colimaçon en bon état. J'ai ramassé _La Chute_ qui de ce fait a arrêté de tomber. J'en ai repris la lecture — c'est la troisième fois. Il m'a fallu trois essais pour arrêter de fumer. Donc cette fois est peut-être la bonne. Ne suis-je pas venu à bout du _Nom de la rose_ ? — _La Chute_ est retombée. Dans l'oubli ? Je suis tombé sur _La Chute_. Quand je rêve ma vie d'écrivain je me vois comme un bibliophage vorace. C'est toujours dès potron-minet et dans une glace embuée que je me vois auteur reconnu et courtisé. Je suis pas objectif avant mon premier café. Verdict vespéral : dix pages et c'est l'indigestion. Camus n'est pas ma came. Tant pis. Il me reste tout de même Houellebecq. L'espoir favorise un sommeil de qualité. Le ronronnement de mon chat aussi, mais il ne peut venir dans le lit avec nous. Le mariage a ses revers. Je tourne les pages. Ma lecture devient imprécise. Clamence m'emmerde. Mais il faut que je tienne jusqu'à la question libératrice, celle qui flattera mon _ego_ , flatterie transformée en sourire par mon surmoi. “Ah ça ? _La Chute_ d'Albert Camus”. Celle qui fera de moi un stéréotype sur pattes. Je vous l'ai déjà dit que j'étais rebelle, non? Je suis peut-être même le rebelle le plus authentique que vous rencontrez dans toute votre vie. Pensez! Un gars qui lit Camus et qui n'aime pas les sushis! Comment ? Mais bien sûr que si ! J'ai fini l'_Etranger_ et _La Peste_ est en cours. J'ai compris le tiraillement moral des _Justes_. Je ne veux pas être un Juste car je ne veux pas être injuste, je veux juste être. Avant de ne plus être. Je sais que ça arrivera. J'ai fait des études. Amsterdam. Son port. Ses marins qui naissent et meurent. Pourquoi pas Anvers ? Je fredonne et force m'est de constater que ça sonne moins bien. _The Cure_ a chanté Camus. Un carton — quoi d'autre ? Un mec, une plage, un flingue, un inconnu et un soleil de... plomb. C'était un Arabe. Une chance. Imaginons un instant que le malheureux fût Français ou, soyons de bon compte, Belge. Je teste — en anglais, naturellement. Oui. Mais non. Je vous épargne l'hypothèse du Japonais qui se prend une balle sous le soleil d'Algérie. Mais il est temps. Et même si je me sens bien céans, il me faut remonter la colline avec ma pierre. Je me rhabille, tire la chasse et ferme la porte. _Clac_. * * * #Fragment #Blog #EcritureBrute #Absurde #Cynisme #Microfiction #Prose #Interférences #Smallweb #Fediverse #HumourNoir

C'est l'histoire d'une chute qui s'arrête et qui reprend, d'un inconnu sous le soleil d'Algérie

A photo of a plant, or should I say, a photo of a pod of a plant that is just opening. It’s grayish green and is a large pod on it’s side. It is long and pointed and there are hairs on the upper side. The pod is just opening and the pink flower is just visible. But because of how the pod is positioned and how the photo was taken, it looks like a long pointed snout of a strange creature with the pink tongue just emerging. It might be a magnolia flower but I don’t know the names of flowers very well, I just like to take their photographs.

Flux.2 Prompt
A young woman in a long black dress with flowing long silver hair and an old man with long black hair, a long black beard and a white robe walk side by side down a dimly lit apartment hallway, both smiling in a friendly, welcoming way as they approach a man standing at his apartment door. The scene is framed from an over-the-shoulder perspective behind the man at the door, so that only the back of his head and shoulders are visible in the foreground while the young woman and the old man are fully visible in the middle of the corridor. On the young woman’s wrist there is a clearly visible tattoo of a pentagram, and on the back of the old man’s hand there is a bold, stylized goat head with long horns tattooed, both rendered with sharp detail. The hallway is narrow, with simple doors and soft, warm ambient lighting casting mild shadows, creating a slightly mysterious but calm, everyday atmosphere. Cinematic, highly detailed, realistic style, natural colors, soft depth of field focusing on the two approaching figures.

Flux.2 Prompt
An oversized puffball mushroom with a huge rounded cap towering above a crowd of churchgoers from different world religions, including Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus and Jews, all standing and looking up in awe. They are gathered on a wide forest clearing bathed in soft, mystical light, surrounded by a grove of tall, slender white-barked trees, their trunks rising vertically like columns. The atmosphere feels sacred and slightly surreal, as if a spontaneous interfaith ritual is taking place around the giant mushroom. Graphic novel style, bold clean line art, slightly exaggerated proportions, rich but limited color palette, high contrast lighting, subtle mist near the ground, cinematic composition.
