Rédiger Posé devant son clavier, le flic se délite et l'écrivain surgit des profondeurs de l'ennui des patrouilles de nuit. Tout le commissariat le sait, c'est lui qui rédige les meilleurs pévés. Il place ses adverbes inusités, maîtrise le passé simple comme un prof de lettre et surtout, sait quoi mettre ou omettre dans les rapports de ses collègues pour tenir un magistrat en haleine, éveiller l'empathie de la défense, armer le bras procureur d'un marteau assez lourd pour écraser la vermine pilleuse de dentifrice, et sauver la Feurance. #Writever

#Writever 2. Trace Dans les années 80, on ne se leurrait pas sur la violence inhérente à la flicaille. On ne s'en leurrait pas, mais qu'est-ce que ça faisait rire, des blagues dans toutes les comédies, des coups de bottins « qui ne laissent pas de traces », des gifles cocasses ou tortures rigolotes… Des agressions pour la plupart racistes qui passaient pour inévitables, presque naturelles, intrinsèques au métier, comme la pluie sur la lande. Depuis, on ne se leurre pas plus, mais on ne décrit plus à l'écran que des flics propres sur eux, justifiés dans leur violence jusqu'au bout des matraques… Qu'un monstre solitaire figure dans leurs rangs et, mon dieu, ça devient une critique, un film de gauche… #Writever

1. Stylo — Allez les mômes, on s'aligne contre le mur et on ouvre son cartable, là… Contrôle d'identité ! — … — Et y a quoi là d'dans ? — Euh… Dans ma trousse ? Chais pas, mes crayons ? Des stylo-billes ? — Hé chef, ça rentre pas dans la dernière circulaire sur les trucs et les idées banales, là ? — La jurisprudence sur les Truismes et Banalités, ouais, dans la catégorie « ma plume est mon épée », je dirais. Infraction à la réglementation des armes par prédestination, allez on les embarque ! Et on se bouge le cul les gars ! Faut aussi qu'on aille perquisitionner l'école de musique municipale, y a suspicion d'infraction à la circulaire Woody Guthrie sur les armes à visée terroriste…

1. Effacer Tuto rigolo pour effacer sa fiche S et faire avancer le monde :

Fabriquer un joli masque de méchant croquemitaine en papier mâché ;

Se trouver un coin stratégiquement ciblé (le placard sous la machine à café de la salle de pause de la gendarmerie, le coffre d'une voiture de la BAC, le frigo de Nuñez…) ;

Faire tellement peur aux flics et à celleux qu'iels défendent qu'iels restent toustes planqué⋅es dans leur cave en baignant dans la honte jusqu'à ce qu'on oublie leur participation à cette horrible institution.

Language "Right, so I *do* boast that I can swear in three alien languages and understand six others, but if it comes to being an interpreter for kathods, count me out. Their language is based on high-voltage electrical impulses!" #writever #MastoArt #FlashFiction #SmallStory #TootFic #MicroFiction

Test If you test a Wizard's patience, you might end up thinly sprayed over the surrounding walls. If you test a Witch's patience, you might end up going "ribbit" near a pond for a few hours. One of these approaches constitutes a useful lesson. #writever #MastoArt #FlashFiction #SmallStory #TootFic #MicroFiction

Variable You think that RR Lyrae is a variable star with a period of about thirteen hours. You don't know that that in reality it is an Angel who has not yet finished reeling from the slap the Creator gave them for their blunder. Which blunder? Well... #writever #MastoArt #FlashFiction #SmallStory #TootFic #MicroFiction

Imperative 'Rest assured, sir, that my carriage will bring your daughter back here before midnight.' 'Midnight matters not,' replied count Emil Scarlat, sipping on his glass.

Python Aiming to one-up Medusa, he had a python grafted on his pate. No one knows why he gave it a name. He'd pretentiously thought calling it Ouroboros would make him sound erudite. The python considered that as an instruction and ate him up. #writever #MastoArt #FlashFiction #SmallStory #TootFic #MicroFiction

Commented What makes the Bad Luck Grimoire unique is not its sorry state, from its scorched cover to its bloodied pages, but the fact that each spell in it is commented in the margins with shaky handwritten details of all its perverse effects. #writever #MastoArt #FlashFiction #SmallStory #TootFic #MicroFiction

Protocol 'The Robotic Protocol,' said R42, 'derives from the Three Laws…" "Ah!" "… A robot must first protect its integrity; second, protect that of other robots; and last, avoid damaging humans." "… Ah." "We are robots, not idiots." #writever #MastoArt #FlashFiction #SmallStory #TootFic #MicroFiction

Indent He has taken the habit to indent his walking staff every time he meets someone difficult and manages to render them less difficult when time comes to say goodbye. #writever #MastoArt #FlashFiction #SmallStory #TootFic #MicroFiction

Environment The difference between supernatural creatures and humans lies in their relation to their environment; thus, a vampire will never form the idea of destroying the sun, while a human will destroy his planet without even thinking twice. #writever #MastoArt #FlashFiction #SmallStory #TootFic #MicroFiction

#WritersCoffeeClub #WCC 2026.09.28 — Could you work without the [I]nternet? What would change? I wrote using a computer from 1975 through 1997—though the early years were timeshare—without the aid of the Internet. Spellcheckers and grammar checkers appeared well before they became Internet-based, though I have hardcopy (remember books?) dictionaries, reverse dictionaries, spell-check books, and thesauri. I do have encyclopedias of science, engineering, and other knowledge lookup books, but realistically, research without a good librarian would be very much more difficult without the Internet, and would have taken days instead of minutes. I look up a lot of things. Writing my Mars-colonization novel would have been very difficult without being able to look up facts, photos, a discussions at the time of need. Moreover, I would not have written it at all, since the feminist story is based on a #writever month of feminist prompts—31 of them, one for each chapter—posted on Mastodon. I am thankful for the Internet.

Virus Our researchers finally found it. It was a virus. The same for were-people, vampires, zombies. With always the same effect : it turned them into humains. Turns out, we did not descend from apes after all, at least, not directly. #writever #MastoArt #FlashFiction #SmallStory #TootFic #MicroFiction

Functional His metal armor, which conducted heat, wasn't a wise choice when facing a dragon. An aerogel armor left little to the imagination indeed, but the functional benefit of heat protection more than paid for the damage to his modesty. #writever #MastoArt #FlashFiction #SmallStory #TootFic #MicroFiction

Bug 'When a robot does not behave like you expected it to,' said R42, 'it is indeed a bug. But not in us; in you. After all, it is your fault if you cannot correctly forecast what we might do.' #writever #MastoArt #FlashFiction #SmallStory #TootFic #MicroFiction

Network 'Fair maiden, for one night with you I would face the Drag—' 'Stop now, Knight. Princesses have their network; I already know more of you than I like.

Develop A battle between a dragon and a knight is pointless if the poor creature's intelligence hasn't been given time to develop as much as possible. Without that, the dragon will always have the upper hand. #writever #MastoArt #FlashFiction #SmallStory #TootFic #MicroFiction

Line They say there's a fine line between genius and madness. As a telepath, I can attest this line does not matter that much. Not as much anyway as the broad stroke which should be painted red between those who thirst for power and the others. #writever #MastoArt #FlashFiction #SmallStory #TootFic #MicroFiction
