📝May-onnaise, May-day, May-hem, May-weed,
Maybirds mayfly and while mayting maybe may sing?
Let's follow @NicoMartinFC's cues.

1 Day,
1 Word,
1 Short story (scifi, fantastic or fantasy),
#writever to be seen and retweeted by @WriteverJ,
In one thread, for posterity 1 – countdown 2 – studio 3 ...
1/Countdown

He wiped the name on the placard, wrote "Last Days Saints" and moved the hands of the giant clock on his chest.
Then he started to ring his bell, shouting :
"Listen ! The countdown to the end of the world has just begun!"

#writever
2/Studio

Our best product is group pictures. As it's been forbidden to gather more than three persons in the same place to avoid spreading the new viruses, these pictures are studio made, with green screens. People really love them.

#writever
3/Mike

Using empathetic robots to take care of our elders was a pretty good idea.
But when the person dies, the robots loses their mind.
You can see them hike,
talking to themselves.
We call them broken Mike.

#writever
4/opening theme

— I think we shouldn't attach so much importance to our opening theme. I mean, our parents are either depressed or over excited. How can their choice be relevant and decisive for all our life?
— What's your song?
— Elton John's Candle in the wind.

#writever
5/Guests

When he learnt about the new epidemic, the billionaire bought the airline company and asked the crew to keep flying.
"I'm my own guest now", he said.
They've been turning around, refueling in-flight , for 3 weeks now.

#writever
6/questions

When I accepted that mission, eager to spend six months alone, away from all the human kind , I also accepted the rule: no question.
It's been 12 weeks now. I erased all my questions. Only one remains. Who am I?

#writever
7/Surprise

If you want to check if the person is a human being or a robot, just try to surprise them.
The androids are unable to experience that feeling.
However, be careful, the humans are fed up with that test.
They can get pretty violent.

#writever
8/alarm
It started with a night fishing fisherman.
He had installed a bite alarm which buzzed.
He called his wife, then disappeared.
Now that 4 persons are missing they realize something unusual is going on into this lake.
#writever
9/Emergency exit

They lost their case.
The court said the players' security can't be part of their Bible escape game.
Not everybody knows  what to do to get out of the Eden Garden, of Egypt land or Lazarus grave.
They'll have to put up real emergency exit signs.

#writever
10/Lockdown

As men's behaviour forced women into a night lockdown for years, we suggest that, for 6 months we switch the roles.
Men stay at home when the evening comes, then we see what happens.

#writever
11/Panic

In this therapeutic approach, they use a pathology to cure another one.
For example, they make you experiment panic attacks to heal your depression, or maniac crisis for low self esteem.
The effects are still to be proven.

#writever
12/Screaming

They say the implantation of the new detoxification device  is painless.
They lie. My sister is a nurse in their hospital.
She says each night you can hear some clients screaming.
They then gave them painkillers to which they eventually get addicted.

#writever
13/ventilation

There's something wrong with the clones.
Although their brains and hearts seem to work properly, their lungs don't.
I mean, everything is OK, but they can't breath automatically and all need permanent mechanical ventilation.
Perhaps a lack of will.

#writever
14/Suffocating
While the climatologists are still searching causes for the suffocating heat we all felt on February 12,  the conspiracy theorists already have many stories.
One of them is about gaseous aliens visiting us.
#writever
15/Mutation

In that school, all of us have a mutation, but not every mutation is a superpower.
I perspire excessively, which is certainly interesting for science, but doesn't help me to make friends.

#writever
16/ Window

You remember the fistulated cows scandal? The cows with a viewing window on their belly.
In Japan, they do the same with pregnant women. At first it was only for a specific medical purpose, until the women made it fashionable.

#writever
17/Escape

The anti intrusion protocol was clear and well known, but we didn't consider all the possibilities.
How can one escape a psychic invasion?
We'll have to face the consequences of this.

#writever
18/ climbing

After the global warming and the sea level rise, swimming became quickly a very useful skill.
Climbing was valued too. You often couldn't reach your building entrance.

#writever
19/Crowd movement
Mona Blake was a specialist of group psychology and social interaction. She was known for her work on crowds and her research on the most efficient words to transform and control crowd movements without violence.
She ironically died alone in her house.
#writever
20/Aggression

Scientists have understood, for 3 years now, the biological mechanisms of aggression.
It could be easy to resolve the problem of violence in the world. But no country trusts the others enough to accept to be the first to get disarmed.

#writever
21/Airborne virus

You remember the virus ILOVEYOU? And SASSER?
Both were spread by attached files.
Let me introduce BIGFLUE. It's an airborne virus that targets smartphones. Tiny particles enter the device, then execute their evil program.

#writever
22/Panic

There's no reason to panic.
Losing one's job isn't supposed to be so sad.
I'm sure your parents will be OK to give you half a million until you find another one.
What? They're poor!
Your grandparents too?
Oh my God!

#writever
23/Retreat

The persons who cared less about the retreat of democracy were the same who laughed at the retreat of the glaciers.
They were convinced they would be protected from any catastrophe.
We now know they were wrong.

#writever
24/radio station
A radio station was a place where the podcast makers had to go into studios to record their episodes.
At this time, the machines were so big and sophisticated that you needed technicians to handle them and you couldn't have your own portable studio.
#writever
25/Atomic shelter

Taking advantage of this new threat and people's fear was easy. We sold many atomic shelters, some of them not even built, and on the other hand, we sold the buyers data and the shelters location.
Nothing wrong, everyone seemed happy.

#writever
26/emergency transmission
Excuse me, professor, but this is the 9th patient claiming they've received an emergency transmission from outer space.
May be we should ask them what the messages say.
Don't watch me like that, professor, it's just an idea.
OK, forget it!
#writever
27/silence

The government took many laws to silence their opponents. The president and his ministers, therefore, became more audibles, showing the citizens who they really were. That's how they lost the elections.

#writever
28/ explosion

Due to the explosion of drug prices, people were looking for other ways to manage their suffering.
That's how many of them started to talk to their colleagues and realized they could work differently.
And they did.

#writever
29/Smoke
— Can you name three techniques used for death penalty during the dark times of humanity?
— Hmm, electric chair, guillotine and... er, smoking?
— No. Smoking was a low speed suicide method.
— Lethal injection?
— Great !
#writever
30/Darkness

The Harsh Light times with their security obsession were awful for those who tried to stay creative humans.
Fortunately, with the energy transition, the darkness came back, covering the nights, smooth and fertile.

#writever
31/Apocalypse

A loud sound,
Peace is gone.
Outside, a scream,
Crying mothers.
Apocalypse is strange feast.

Let what you're doing,
You're not ready for this.
Pack what you have,
Save what you can,
Ending a world isn't a game.

1/Compte Ă  rebours
On sait l'heure de l'impact, la chaĂźne des effets. La vie n'est plus qu'un compte Ă  rebours.
Certains regardent approcher la météorite, d'autres s'entassent dans les derniÚres zones ou rejoignent leurs proches.
Moi je n'ai personne. Je fais la fĂȘte.
#writever
2/Studio
AprÚs des semaines de recherche anxieuse, Julia avait enfin trouvé un logement dans ses prix à Paris. Un studio avec salle de bain, kitchenette et mezzanine. Son dossier était accepté. Restait à réussir l'entretien avec les 3 autres colocataires.

This month's #writever list will make April fashionable. Be a part of it:
One day, one word, one science fiction (or fantasy) short story in one tweet.
Weave them together in one thread, always using the #writever tag, so @WriteverJ can see and retweet you. 1- Warm 2- Hook 3- Pattern ...
1/Warm
She was born in a warm blanket
She grew up, wore a warm jacket
Earth got hot! She said: Wrong Planet!
Then she fled with her great rocket.
#writever
2/Hook

—They say he's the best hand surgeon of all known worlds!
— Yes. He can treat upper extremity injuries for at least 45 species.
— Ok. Then tell me why they never say his name?
— He's from earth and his real name is Hook!

Le #writever d'avril ne se découvre pas d'un fil.
Venez tisser le vĂŽtre :
Un jour, un mot, une nouvelle de Science-fiction (ou Fantastique ou Fantasy).
Si vous vous répondez d'un jour sur l'autre avec le hashtag qui va bien vous serez repéré et retweeté par @WriteverB 1- Chaud 2- Crochet 3- Patr...
1/Chaud
La machine à traduire universelle ne comprenait que les langues parlées.
Quand les extraterrestres qu'on a baptisés les Thermos sont venus, ça a été compliqué. Ils émettaient Chaud pour Oui, Froid pour Non tandis qu'un créatif essayait de deviner leurs pensées.
#writever
2/Crochet
—Vous allez adorer cette nouvelle Peauℱ. Son indice de protection solaire vous permettra de mieux supporter la vie en surface. Et nous avons prĂ©vu un Ɠillet pour le crochet.
—Quel crochet?
—La V1 s'abümait quand les clients accrochaient leur Peauℱ le soir.

#writever arrive sur Mars.
Nous Ă©crivons encore.
- Le principe : 1 mot, 1 nouvelle SFFF d'1 tweet en rapport, comportant *obligatoirement* le mot-diĂšse si vous souhaitez ĂȘtre retweetĂ©.
- L'idéal : 1 thread regroupant les nouvelles; se répondre  d'1 jour sur l'autre.
C'est parti? 1 - DĂ©sert 2 - Viking 3 - I...
1/DĂ©sert
—On y est, c'est top! Des Ă©tendues Ă  l'infini et pas un chat.
Il ferma les yeux et perçut une farandole de brumes colorées qui semblaient le supplier. La mélancolie s'empara de lui.
—OK, Ă  la rĂ©flexion, cette planĂšte est triste Ă  mourir. Allons voir plus loin.
#writever
2/Viking
—1 centaure, 2 vikings et 1 titan entrent dans un bar et demandent de l'eau...
—Écoute, Bliz tu deviens lourd avec tes blagues sur les humains. Tu ne veux pas t'intĂ©resser un peu aux arts martiens? chant magnĂ©tique, danse quantique, thĂ©Ăątre gravitationnel...

Ladies and Gentlemen, la liste #writever de FĂ©vrier.
1 mot, 1 micronouvelle (ou épisode) SFFF d'1 tweet, avec le # et liées en thread, si possible.
Le but? S'amuser, créer et faire pousser un peu de littérature sur twitter.
Bon courage aux oreilles internes des plus de 30 ans😆 01 - Il Ă©tait une fois 02 -...
1/Il Ă©tait une fois
—Jadis, les humains se touchaient pour se reproduire. Depuis que nous gĂ©rons tout, c'est inutile, mais je crois que cela rĂ©gulait aussi leur violence.
—Ils se battent pour se toucher?
—C'est ça. Il faudra peut-ĂȘtre rĂ©tablir la danse et les sports de contact...
2/L'Aventurier
Le peuple Oankali a toujours été curieux. La botanique était leur spécialité, conçue pour faciliter la vie sur leur planÚte mÚre.
C'est d'une mutation imprévue que naquit le premier voyageur, assoiffé d'ailleurs et de mouvement.
Vous savez ce qu'il advint ensuite.
