Magic Mushrooms
A tale of high fantasy.
“Oh man, it feels like I’m floating… and these colors look crazy!”
“You are floating,” Gretchen sighed, glancing up from where she’d been crocheting on the couch. “And it looks like your eyes have turned into mantis shrimp eyes, so you’ve probably got several new photoreceptors.”
“Ah, jeez.”
“Did you buy your mushrooms from Dankerbell? You know she only deals in real magic, not hallucinogens. This is like the fourth time!”
“Not helpful.”
“Hang tight, I’ll contact the centaur for disease control… again.”

The Reluctant Reporter
"You can't send me!" "There is no-one else. It's you or no-one, and that is not an option." Ameera looked at the fat paunch and florid face of her boss, a man who lived for the story and the kudos it brought him but who rarely gave consideration to the people behind the drama. When had he become so hard? She reckoned that by the end of the year, he'd be dead, collapsed from a heart attack and she struggled to conjure any sympathy in that moment and instantly felt ashamed at displaying the same lack of compassion that he had.

The Littlest Sprout
The Littlest Sprout In the era of vibrant storytelling, three key elements reign supreme: "perplexity," "burstiness," and "predictability." Perplexity serves as the measure of textual intricacy, while burstiness denotes the diversity in sentence structures. Conversely, predictability gauges the likelihood of anticipating subsequent sentences. Human narratives often showcase a delightful blend of elaborate and concise sentences, fostering intrigue and unpredictability. On the contrary, AI-generated text tends to exhibit a more uniform structure. Hence, crafting compelling content necessitates weaving a tapestry rich in perplexity and burstiness while minimizing predictability.
