1/Robert
Some parents don't realize the importance of the name they chose for their children. Priscilla is often superficial, while Robert has no sense of humor. Terence has suicidal thoughts, and Wendy thinks the world is her own living room.
Please, be careful!

2/Spin
There are moments in life where I would be happy to have a wheel to spin. Even if I lost, it would be great to be able to hope good things during a few seconds.

3/Vortex
Everything nowadays is a vortex: the last vacuum cleaner, the new blender, even a model of hair dryer. But have you ever watched the poetry of the water flowing from the sink?

4/ Hypothetical
Sometimes, I think about the life I could have had then I'm angry at my hypothetical husband. Because it's the way they are supposed to make you feel. I yell at him and tell him I'll get divorced.
It makes me like my actual life.

5/Chronolith
The people living on this planet are slow, really slow. Perhaps is it because each of their days lasts 3 of ours.
When they need to know what time it is, they listen to the stone that they call chronolith. None of us would be able to hear what they hear.

6/Gypsum
With the global warming, people are discovering several old ways of building a house. The last trend consists of gypsum interior decorations, supposed to keep the temperatures fresh enough in your home.

7/Darwinia
Of course, the colonisers, seeing a new world appear, needed to own it, to exploit the resources and to kill the people. But Darwinia wasn't just a place, it was a machine that managed life and death.

8/Affinities
When I walk in the forest, I never wear shoes. My feet have affinities with the soil, they talk to the mushrooms and to the trees' roots. After my walk, I do understand life and death better.

9/Perseids
You should be careful, because the odds are not in your favour. You should wait for the Perseids, a meteor shower happening in early August.
They'll wash away any adversity.
And, perhaps will you be less tired after the summer break.

12/A bridge of years
I've done it.
I've built a bridge of years that you can cross from the future to the past, and vice-versa.
I now live in the middle of this bridge, well grounded in the present.

11/Bios
If you can flash the computer's BIOS, it should be possible to do the same thing with a robot's firmware. But now that they have feelings, no one would try such an operation.

10/ Memory wire
Most people use memory wire to make nice jewels, but I do use them to make useful devices. With well chosen pearls, you can code anything you'd like to remember, from a phone number to a birthday.

14/Ordinary
No one is ordinary, believe me.
Those normal persons that you see have, all, a special feature that they won't show you.
So, don't let anyone tell you how you should be. You are, and you are enough.

15/ Extraordinary
I've been trying to live an extraordinary life for so long!
I got tired for nothing worthwhile.
From now on, I'll just wait, hoping to see the chance come and knock at my home's door.

16/Disappear
This is a one-shot social network.
You write your message and as soon as someone likes it, it disappears.
Each user has to like at least one post per day, otherwise they are the one who disappears.

17/Eye
The curious eye can't just watch around. It has to look for new secrets to discover and hints to collect.
That's why the curious eye is more mobile and more tired than the normal one.

18/ Lobster
My nickname is Lobster because of my armor and capability to fight when I have to.
I've chosen Lobster because I know how fragile I am, under my shell.

The harvest is a very hard job, but being part of something bigger than yourself is a great experience. That's the reason why I won't pay you more.

21/Hypercolony
You can't imagine what it is to be raised by hyperparents. They are always hypervigilant, hyperworried and they let you believe that there is a hypercolony held by extraterrestrials that uses the humans as entertainment .

Love is a miracle. Or a misunderstanding. Which makes it a miracle as well.
How are we supposed to enter someone else's inner world?

23/Mysticism
You can find some mysticism in many kinds of science fiction stories: robots, alien, time travel stories etc., are different ways to explore the relationship between the humans and their divinities.

24/Time travel
During the first months, the time travel agency lost much money because of the fast forward travelers who bought a ticket for the future, but came back before paying.
Now it's forbidden.

Couples, families, communities, societies, are the groups inside which we, humans, usually try to survive together.

Adoring your parents when you're a child isn't a problem, but letting the fanatic attitude preventing you from doing your job is.
You really need to grow adult.

26/Religion
Many wars of religions are, in fact, economical conflicts or geopolitical quarrels.
The gods, saints or other theoretical subjects are just easy pretexts for fighting.

25/Amazement
The amazement of the fish when Moses opened the sea didn't last long. Some tried to cross from one side to the other, and died.
Those who were too close were cut in two.
Obviously the others were afraid.

When we arrived on Earth, our greatest surprise was the discovery that what the humans called science was half knowledge, half destruction.
How can you kill what you want to understand?

30/Star
Does a star shine if no one is watching?
We've been living underground for years now, the surface cameras are broken. Nobody knows what the sky looks like.
