    Segregation is a theater of meanings, blending myth, satire, and urban irony. The book explores power, dependency, illusion, and the impossibility of escape, turning architecture, rituals, and social mechanisms into metaphors for inner and systemic struggle.

    a collection of excerpts , fiction and fact that I haven't put together into a story yet, but I might some day. Pretty much a storage space. Comment and rate if you like it.
  • Figures Of Speech by thelittlebystander

      Parts 1
    This piece is a chaotic sermon dressed in satire, stitched with absurdity, and delivered by a narrator who can't quite decide whether they're joking-or warning you. Figures of Speech was born from watching the distortion of language in real-time-how words meant to unite often divide, how truth bends until it breaks, and how the loudest voices often say the least. The poem is a venting valve. A fever dream with punchlines. It tackles everything from political hypocrisy and media theatrics to the decay of discourse itself. The "slips" in the poem-those ironic stumbles and word-swaps-aren't mistakes; they're masks peeling off. The more the narrator fumbles, the more they reveal. At its heart, this poem is about power: who holds it, who manipulates it, and who suffers beneath it. But it's also about complicity-ours. We laugh, we scroll, we nod, and then we play our roles again. The circus restarts. The machine keeps running. This is not a call to action. It's not even a protest. It's just a figure of speech. Unless, of course, it isn't.

    An absurdist piece about a dystopian corporation hellbent on one thing: Sandwiches. If you liked the Cave Johnson dialogue from Portal 2, this one should (hopefully) win you over. If you hate your job or your life, this is the perfect read! This is a piece I had previously published on the site https://thehibiscusreview.blog. If you were brave enough to click the link you'll notice it doesn't take you anywhere. That is because the domain expired and the owners were too lazy to renew it. I don't know about how people feel about publishing pieces twice, but because the site was very little and had a one year lifespan I see it fit that I rerelease it with a few tweaks in hopes of gaining an audience from it. Oh how I know that won't work, but it's fun to lie to yourself.

    Every night, he stands trial in a courtroom built from his guilt. Each accuser? Someone he once hurt. Each verdict? A stain on his waking life. Aleks Sarin has always avoided hard questions-about who he is, what he's done, and who he's become. But when his dreams turn into surreal courtrooms run by the shadows of his past, reality begins to unravel. The only way out may be to confess the truth he never dared to face.

    What begins as a simple computer interaction quickly spirals into something far more unsettling. Meta is a journey into the unknown, where reality blurs and a mysterious message leads to unexpected consequences. This short story will leave you questioning the boundaries of technology, consciousness, and existence itself. Meta is an absurdist science-fiction short story which muses on technology and humanity. The central theme is one of identity - what exactly is "I" and what separates it from, say, a computer program? What makes AI any different to people at the end of the day?

    You know how sometimes you want to make a difference so bad, you end up making everything worse? Overachieving, overhauling the world. Your fate is in your own hands, hard doesn't mean impossible, the encouraging chatter we've all heard. It's bullshit. Either you know it, or you're about to. Don't get me wrong, nihilism is as far from what I'm trying to introduce here as it could. The painful realism, the omnipresent "it's all for nothing"... there's more to it. And if you're not a coward, you will stay with me to explore it like the goddamn outer space. Besos. [as you can see, this work involves some cussing and heavy topics, so if that's not your thing I do understand and hope you find what you're looking for elsewhere.]
