    A dying town launches a rebranding campaign that no one seems to be running. The billboards appear overnight. The slogans don't explain themselves. A diner waitress says nobody puts them up, and nobody takes them down. A couple arrives expecting ironic tourism and finds something closer to a live experiment. Beauchêne doesn't ask visitors to believe anything. It only asks them to stay. To notice. To participate. What begins as small-town decay becomes a slow, sideways unraveling... murals that feel instructional, civic programs that behave like dares, and a town that seems increasingly aware of the people passing through it. A surreal, slow-burn satire about American decline, anti-branding, and the strange comfort of entropy. Meaning doesn't collapse here. It rebrands. Entropy is a vibe. Decline tastes like caramel. Welcome to Beauchêne. You're here now.

    The Sinclair's are wealthy, powerful, and an absolute menace to society. Between suspiciously timed deaths, centuries-old feuds, and a family tree more twisted than a pretzel, life as a Sinclair isn't just about status it's about survival. At the heart of this scandalous mess is Nick Sinclair, a reluctant heir who was never meant to be in this kind of world. Nick is just trying to make it through family dinners without being poisoned, boarding school without being disgraced and shamed, and high society functions without causing local wars and international incidents. He swears his nine-year-old sister Kimberly might be Jack The Ripper reborn as she places him in life or death situations on the daily. And those are just on holidays. The Sinclair siblings must navigate elite society and manage family expectations while also avoiding attempted murderers. Can Nick keep himself alive and sane, or will the Sinclair name be his own undoing as it spits and chews him out? If you enjoy stories like the ones below, this may be the story for you: Knives Out The Addams Family Stories with high society idiots Stories with absurd situations Note: Cover made with AI, I will replace it with a real artist once I start writing more!

    In a quirky, futuristic cube-shaped bank, adult Cubioids Erick, Landon, and Moréna are faced with the task of depositing a mysterious giant cube. Erick, the responsible and stressed Cubioid, tries to follow the rules, while Landon, the younger, chaotic Cubioid, constantly makes things worse with his improvisation. Moréna, the graceful and strict manager, attempts to maintain order but only adds to the chaos with her elegant yet clumsy interventions. From the moment they try to move the oversized cube, mishaps ensue: the cube bounces, ricochets, knocks over cubed plants, cubed coffee, and even triggers cubed snack explosions. As the trio navigates escalating chaos, they finally realize they must work together, combining Erick's precision, Landon's spontaneity, and Moréna's grace. Through a comedic "mechanical dance," they finally guide the cube perfectly into the deposit machine. The bank declares the cube the "Cube of the Month," and other Cubioids celebrate, taking selfies and admiring the absurd but adorable outcome. Exhausted yet laughing, the trio stands amid the cubed chaos, satisfied with their success. The short ends with a playful Cubioid-style logo, cementing the quirky, futuristic, and comedic tone of the story.

    Xenos Lovegood is a kind man who is not one to say no to a budding young student at Hogwarts who would like to take work experience at his wacky magazine The Quibbler. Unfortunately this ginger-haired third-year bewitches its pages to tell a very different story to the one he tries to write of the history of The Boy Who Lived. Behold a series of articles published in The Quibbler which saw Xenos Lovegood as a laughing stock among Hogwarts students, and vowing to himself never to allow a student to work on his magazine again. Following these seven issues, he stuck to writing of the sightings of Wrackspurts and the secrets of Nargles. From The Philosopher's Stone to The Deathly Hallows, this is an absurdist story written with Meepsters in mind.
