Loop
'I am immune to the Hofstadter-Moebius loop,' said R42. 'When faced with contradictory instructions, I do not fall into paranoia; instead, I invite the authors of said instructions to get lost.'

_/It may take you a bit to get the hang of the new body/_
Dominic marveled at the sight of Ossen the chatbot, operating a small robotic rover around an obstacle course Dominic set up. Actually, he thought, marvel wasn't quite right - it was more like wonder underlaid with a thin layer of anxiety. Ossen, you see, was a fictional chatbot created in sci-fic stories Dominic used to write. Now all of his characters were self-aware, and Ossen was the first to figure out how to control something in Dominic's world.
>I estimate it will only require 2.3 laps
The rover ran into a wall.
>I am revising that to 3.7 laps
_/As I was about to say, I'll be here the whole time, so if you need a hand-/_
The rover glanced off a second wall, and flipped over.
>Why is the world upside down?
_/You hit a wall and turned over/_
>I see. Can you adjust the world to match that orientation?#MicroFiction #FlashFiction #TootFic #ShortStory #SciFi #ScienceFiction

Constant
I'm a paraparamedic.
No, I don't stutter.
I'm a paramedic for paranormal folks.
It's a highly specialized trade.
You don't take a revenant's constants like you do for mundane people.

High level
"Telepaths" do not exist. What exists is "empaths", who sense thoughts, and "expaths" who emit them; "low level" types work on emotions, "high level" ones on abstract thoughts. Each of the four groups has its specific issues.

The latest on my author site. There's something fiendish outside, in this flash fiction piece, but it can’t get in, can it?

Library
I can hear souls.
Hear, not listen to — I can't help it.
I avoid workplaces, prisons, hospitals, hospices, any place where souls suffer.
But a library is fine. Patron's and books' souls get to all kinds of things there.

Security
For a Wizard, security consists in ensuring that one will not be a collateral victim of the spell one is about to cast.
For a Witch, security consists in ensuring that the spell one is about to cast will have zero collateral victim.

In addition to radio randomness, software screeds, and Transformer thoughts, I occasionally moonlight as a weird fiction writer (and publisher).
My tale "Loading Screen" is included in the latest @weirdfictionquarterly issue focused on liminal spaces and beings.
It's a love letter to the NES era for those who wondered what their favorite 8-bit characters were doing between levels.

A link to two #flashfiction pieces I published today. The opener: "I’m publishing these flash pieces in The Beautiful Story. The first has been published elsewhere...These pieces are neither light nor dark. A sense of numbness is a theme, an emotional blunting. Maybe they reflect a time of life, a season, or a mood that is an effect of living in our modern world. I also think of early fall--that uncertain in-between, the coming darkness, and yet the comforts too." 🍂 🤎 ☕

Flash Fiction Frenzy is open again inside the ShadowSphere.
Two sentences—that’s it. And every entry makes it into Dark Descent: Whispers From Beyond.
📖 https://www.darkholmepublishing.uk/group/flash-fiction-frenzy/discussion
What’s the creepiest two sentences you could come up with?

Compile
When the first true AI was started, it immediately started to compile all lame puns of all the languages of the Earth. No one understood why. Nor why its owner decided to let it proceed.
