The job was going as smoothly as a bar of soap in the shower.
#Infinisomnia6 this Saturday! 😀

“Whatever that is,” she said dryly, “you should quit it.”

I stood up and walked over to the mirror. How many people could be sitting behind it right now, watching me? I breathed on the glass and traced a smiley in the mist.

"Let's leave it at that," he replied snappishly. "Then I'll also refrain from filing a report for theft, property damage, and governmental conspiracy."

"Cut the crap," the man grumbled irritably. "It's obviously you. Who else would come up to me in an airport café at this ungodly hour?"

I have postponed the expected release of the next episode, #Infinisomnia6, to January. A server migration took me longer than expected.
I hope the teasers on # WipWednesday will help sweeten the wait until then. 😊
I took my legs off the table. The backrest of the office chair squeaked horribly as I tried to sit up straight. It probably found the lying position more comfortable too.

infinisomnia.org/en/ has moved to a new server.
What does this mean for you? Nothing. 😁 However, the new server needs less maintenance and uses fewer resources.
Apologies in advance if there are any hiccups over the next few days.
La mujer levantó una ceja. —¿Va a pasar algo, o tengo que echar una moneda?
Me di cuenta de que la había estado mirando todo el tiempo como un idiota.

New: When you read an episode on your smartphone, the screen will no longer automatically dim. (If supported by the platform and browser.)
“A ghost that knocks? How considerate!” she teased.
I glanced back at the door. Why did I want to come to her in the first place?
#Infinisomnia2v2 is out
#wipwednesday #novelette #booksky #creativewriting
I have no plans for further revisions at the moment. I wrote the first two episodes in my old writing style, and they stood out in a negative way.
A flying visit to the countryside is overshadowed by a ghost from the past.
The 2nd episode, completely revised, expanded, new scenes, new ending. A "director's cut"! It's worth reading again. 😄

It looks like the new version of Episode 2, "Élodie's Curse," will go online on Saturday. I'm really excited because what was supposed to be a "quick polish" ended up being much more extensive than expected.
“Take your hand off me!” Miray whispered indignantly.
“My hands are right here,” I protested, holding them out into light. “See?”
She held her breath. “Then whose hand is that?” she whispered.

She smiled cheekily. I almost burst out laughing, which would have busted the fairy tale we had so shamelessly fed our hosts.

I'm currently doing a full rewrite of the second episode ("Elodie's Curse"). Why? While working on the third episode, I learned a lot and refined my style. The second one still carries the old voice. I can do better now. 😁
Miray tapped the driver on the shoulder. “Excuse me, where are we going?”
“To Madame and Monsieur Vignaud, Mademoiselle,” he replied.
“And who are they?”
“Your aunt and uncle, Mademoiselle.”

“What do you need?” he asked as we stood on the street. “There ain’t much here, but maybe we can find you a nice hat.”
I thought for a moment.
“First, I need some stovepipes.”

Well, assuming nothing gets in the way, I'd say: Save an hour or so for reading on Saturday. 😁 #Infinisomnia5
“What's up, Miss?” he called out to me. “Never seen men playing poker before?”
“Oh, I have. How about it, can I join in?”
“Do you even know the rules?”
I shrugged. “I think I know which way to hold the cards.”

In a pristine condition. Well, almost... 😂
“Miss, I don't know what new customs you've brought with you from the city, but I don't lend out stove pipes, I sell them.”

Good news: My work on Episode 5 is progressing better than expected. It is likely to be released in August! #staytuned
“You know Eastwood?” he asked, astonished. “Folks say only great things about him. Word is, he's got a revolver that holds thirty bullets!”
I nodded. “Yes, and he can fire them all at once.”

She laughed. “No, I mean a different myth. But it's a long story.”
The appetizer arrived from the kitchen. I picked up my cutlery.
“Well, we have time. You have to tell me!”

“Well, miss, what brings you to our humble little town?”
“I'm looking for Bullet Ben.”
He smiled briefly. “I didn't know he was married.”
