or fantasy 🗡️
In one thread to be part of the moment
#writever to ask @WriteverJ to retweet you

1/Topic
The more you talk to other people, the more you're alike to discover new topics for conversations and interest, most of them futile and useless.
Alone in my space station, I never talk to anybody, except the maintenance team.
#writever

2/Robot
"I'm a robot" the customer said.
The waitress shrugged and muttered: "Who cares? Once they're drunk, they give you all kinds of private and useless information."
#writever

3/Short-short story
There was a tall tall woman who wrote short short stories. People used to say it was a way to take less place in the world and be more discreet. But when she was asked, she said it's because life is too short and she has much to say.
#writever

4/Announcement
You really think the end of the world will come at once after an official announcement?
In fact, it has already started, for decades, and nobody cares.
They only like spectacular shows.
#writever

5/Hashtag
In this social network, people spend more time to choose their hashtags than to weight their words. People tell me it's because it's supposed to be a picture network. So, why the tags?
#writever

6/ Series
I've written a series of sci-fi short stories called Incomplete.
You'll be able to read the beginning of 15 stories. The second volume is called Consequences, and the third one is Termination. It's kind of a series of series.
#writever

7/Regularity
Although the governing AI is trained to manage any contingency, they like regularity and order, and tend to reward the citizen who act like them and to penalize the ones that don't.
#writever

8/Writing
Writing private letters is forbidden, even if you typewrite it. It's because no program has access to the so made content and no one is able to control what you talk about.
Therefore, every activist movement has their secret letterbox.
#writever

9/Instruction
You can hear "fasten your seatbelt", "eat vegetables" or "watch your neighbour", but what you don't perceive is the submission instructions hidden in the theme tunes. Keep calm and obey.
#writever

10/Challenge
— Sometimes, being alive is a challenge, the plant said to the cat. They forget to water me, and I often miss some light. Your chip allows you to talk to them. Will you help me?
— What do I get? the cat asked.
— Forget about it.
#writever

11/Collective
What I call the collective turn is that moment when people realised we were all linked together, and no one could survive alone. I'm not talking about a joyful time, it was provoked by the imminence of the catastrophe.
#writever

12/Monthly
She sees her family monthly.
That's why, once a month, she lets her crazy clothes and she dresses like the classic woman she's supposed to be, not knowing that her brother and her sister do the same and their parents are sad to see them so conformists.
#writever

13/Twitter
We've met on Twitter. We used to have many interactions, then we decided to date. In remembrance, we try to talk with sentences as short as possible. Believe me, it's really funny.
#writever

14/ list
Every morning, you wake up and your personal assistant gives you your to-do list. You can discuss some items, but not many.
At night, you check what is done. That's how they decide how much you'll be paid.
#writever

15/Imagination
In our school, your children will have imagination lessons. Not only will they learn about other people's ideas, but they'll be able to experiment theirs in drawing, writing, sewing, and many other things.
#writever

16/Like
People no more like to be called by phone.
They don't like to be interrupted, to get ready at any time for any conversation.
That's why our phones have all the functionalties you already know, except the phone.
#writever

17/Workshop
I attended a DIY workshop in which most participants were anxious about the system collapse. No fun was possible, and I went back home sadder than before.
#writever

18/Connection
The problem with my connected vacuum cleaner is that they sometimes receive some unsolicited commercial emails and take much time to process them.  It prevents them from cleaning up the house.
#writever

19/Exercise
Too many people want to become kind of heroes when trying to help the poor.
Instead, they should stop enhancing their own image and help the people concerned to exercise their rights by themselves.
#writever

20/Prompt
The new viruses are all highly contagious, but a prompt treatment can help relieve the pain and symptoms.
The problem is that people don't easily understand that they suffer from something new.
#writever

21/Guest
— Be my guest, the spiritualist said.
The ghost appeared on the table, watched the plate, smiled and got into the body of the unaware human, fool enough to offer complete hospitality.
#writever

22/Convergence
In order to correct his eye convergence insufficiency, they asked the boy to watch a bear and to put it in a house. But the child was afraid of bears. He failed. He, then, had to undergo surgery.
#writever

23/Sharing
In my building, we share a garden, a workshop, a car, a music studio, a training room, a dog and a cat.
Most of our tools and home appliance is shared.
Some neighbours would like to buy a television. We'll have to discuss it.
#writever

24/Flip
I often flip a coin in order to decide what to do. But I never watch the result, because at the very moment, when the coin is about to fall, I know exactly which of the two sides I really would like to see. Then, I know what I want.
#writever

25/Digital
Now that we know better about their impact on the planet and its resources, we own less of digital devices. Usually, there is one cell phone per family and it lasts for many years.
#writever

26/Size
Everything is smaller in the towns, where the population is too important.
Tiny cars, little pets, tiny rooms and furniture.
When the city-dwellers go in the countryside, they frequently feel sick because of the size of everything around them.
#writever

27/Constraint
Due to budgetary constraints, we won't be able to pay your salaries this month. We'll therefore ask you to tighten your belt, like we'll all do. Next month, for Christmas, we are going to pay you once and a half your wages.
#writever

28/Thread
I thought the sewing thread was the best model to understand what a line is. But it only works when you don't watch it carefully. It's, in fact, made of several yarns of different fibres.
#writever

29/Teasing
Sometimes, when I get tired of my human fellows, I spend time with the robots workers of the company. No teasing, no mocking, no irony, no small talk. And I stay there until I miss futility and complication.
#writever

30/Writever
The e-archeologists have found the #writever hashtag, which they are unable to explain.
It pretends to be a writing challenge, but the context of its appearing suggests a political purpose. Further investigations are needed.
