@k_tastrof Hmm - Dunk? Not D*r*unk?
1/King
The king really didn't like honors. He used to live in an ordinary little house that he accepted to leave for special occasions in the official castle. He, then, replaced his blue jeans by some heavy and golden clothes.
#writever
2/Cape
She always wore a dark cape on her usual clothes, so that she could wrap it around her in the night and hide herself. She didn't know the cape was a magic one, that made her really disappear.
#writever
3/Parliament
Since we've admitted the humans delegates in the animals parliament for the planet, we had to create another committee in order to make quick decisions. While they are listening to their own talking, we have to solve real problems.
#writever
4/Gascony
If you, coming from a so called young country, want to feel like you’re walking in historical streets, among testimonies of the past, you should go to Gascony. If the experience is too violent, you’ll also find fast foods there.
#writever
5/Cardinal
Whenever a Cardinal has a reprehensible behaviour, they say he’s corrupted, as if this fact was an exception. But it happens so often that it's possible to think it's the very power they give them that allows the churchmen to commit abuse.
#writever
6/Slap
They used to slap their children and wives. As it is now forbidden, they have developed skills in psychological torture. Dominants want to dominate.
#writever
7/Poison
Everything we eat can be a poison at a certain dose that I need to know for my favorite foods. That's how I discovered that the toxic dose of honey has diminished because too few of the flowers are kept away from pesticides.
#writever
8/Ribbon
In this special day every raped woman sews a purple ribbon on her clothes. The number of victims is really impressive. What if we asked their agressors to wear a yellow ribbon? Of course we won't, but imagine.
#writever
9/Cross Sword
After watching a swashbuckler movie, I’ve told my parents I’d like to learn to cross swords.
They misunderstood. Now I am a crosswords champion.
#writever
10/Bold
Whenever she talks to me, it feels like her words are written in bold characters: loud and soft.
She can ask me anything. That's why I avoid talking with her.
#writever
11/Princess
It’s the story of an old woman sitting next to a river. In fact, she's a beautiful princess who tests the young boys, in order to find a husband.
If they are not afraid of her old age, they are good enough to marry her and grow old with her.
#writever
12/Cat
All cats are beautiful, but mine is the cutest. All cats are biting, but mine bites harder.
All cats are brilliant, that's why they don't love cops.
#writever
13/panache
My brother Theodore isn't a good fighter, but I never miss his Kung Fu competitions because of the show. He often loses, but with great panache.
#writever
14/Lacemaker
—Excuse-me, sir. Who's that person?
— She's the one you told me I need, doctor.
— Did I say something about an old woman?
— You said I need a lacemaker.
— Of course not.What you need is a pacemaker. And, perhaps a hearing aid.
#writever
15/La Rochelle
“Last Stop before the end” is a touring agency that organizes visits of towns all around the world that are going to disappear under water soon.
Venise, La Rochelle, Basra, Amsterdam, New Orleans, Bangkok.
#writever
16/Duke
They pretend to be duke and duchess, in order to receive wealthy visitors and play nobility once a week. The other days, they just look like ordinary persons in an old crumbling castle.
#writever
17/Versailles
I don't understand French people. They decided to get out of royalty and religion, they even killed their king and queen, but most of their favorite monuments are old castles, like Versailles, and churches.
#writever
18/Canon
The new SUVs are equipped with canons, because of the anger of the ordinary people who always try to destroy those cars. They consume too much resources and are more dangerous than other cars.
#writever
19/Ride
If you catch the moon for me, you’ll have to help me to jump on it and ride the satellite. I practice every night with a huge rubber ball.
#writever
20/Duel
The duels were a way for people to deal with interpersonal disagreement. It had links with ordeal justice. God would save the one who was right and let the other die.
#writever
25/Gentlemanly
That's very gentlemanly of you to offer your wife such beautiful flowers. But wouldn't it be better not to beat her, and try to get forgiven for that?
I’d like you to think about it.
#writever
24/Servant
I like my servants to be standoffish. They are not part of the family, they're not my friends either. Their job is to serve and the colder they are, the better it is to me.
#writever2024
23/Inn
Most people need to have a home, a place where they can come back and be themselves even if they change.
Me, I don't change much and I love to move. I live in inns, a new one each week. I am my own home.
#writever
22/Lettre de cachet
You know exactly what to do in order to make your life better. But you choose to wait for… what? A flash from the sky? A lettre de cachet from the King? A burning bush?
#writever
21/Wheat
You have to feed the sheep with cereals in order to produce meat and it is really expensive. Maize, oat, and wheat, use too much water, which we don't have enough of.
#writever
26/Rapier
I've found this old rapier in my grandparents’ cellar. I don't know who used to fight with it, if someone did. But this model worths thousands of euros on the swords market.
#writever
27/Lèse-majesté
With such a narcissist king, you have to be careful. Everything can be a crime of lèse-majesté, except, perhaps killing him. As soon as he dies, his successor becomes the new king, so that the King is immortal.
#writever
29/Drunk
The connected crutch is able to detect an abnormal walking and make a phone call. It was developed to assist ill old people living alone, but it's also used to know when they are drunk.
#writever
28/Send to the Bastille
I wanted to go to the Palais Garnier, but when I asked a police officer for the National Opera of Paris, I was sent to the Bastille Opera. I suppose that the French policemen know more about prison than culture.
#writever
31/Siege
In our country, protests and démonstrations are heavily repressed. Both the military force and the civil force are mobilized against the population, just as if we were in a state of siege.
#writever
30/Majestically
She enters the room, majestically like a fantastic queen. Her hair catches the afternoon light. Everyone keeps silent, except the judge who says:
“So, you're accused of the murder of your third husband… “
