a chest full of documents

Inspired by the archives of a historical mystery.
PARIS, OCTOBER 1708. Guillaume—known as Corbé—a lieutenant at the Bastille, inherits the papers of his uncle, Bénigne Dauvergne de Saint-Mars, the governor who, for thirty-four years, guarded the prisoner whom all of France whispered wore a mask. Alexandre Dumas would claim that mask was made of iron.
Inside a chest he discovers reports, letters, and personal journals. Fifty-six times, the same phrase recurs, written in the jailer’s own hand: *He did not speak.*
But who was this man? Was his name Eustache d'Auger, Dauger, or Marchioly? Nothing is certain. Why did he remain silent? Why did he never attempt to escape? Why did no one at Versailles ever ask questions?
As he leafs through these papers, Guillaume realizes that it is not a secret he is uncovering—it is a void. The void of a man who became the shadow of his own existence. The void of a jailer who obeyed without knowing why.
In Guillaume’s hands, each document becomes a testament to a silent tragedy: the banality of obedience, the slow creep of oblivion, and the power of a choice that endured longer than life itself.

Mamalluca

Maryse is 76 years old, has three children who consider her a burden, four grandchildren who ignore her, and a great-granddaughter she has never met. She has lived alone since her divorce nearly 30 years ago.
Her eldest son paid for an internet connection and created an email address for her. She heard him say that written messages were easier to ignore than whining on the phone. She understood. She thanked him.
What she immediately appreciated about the internet was having access to all the world's knowledge. She learned. Everything appeared beautiful and bright, like the first time she saw the sea. Images, voices, music.
Maryse first created an email address for Mamalluca, her cat. Mamalluca has been dead for several months and she misses him, but she doesn't want to adopt a new cat: what would happen to him if she died before him? Then she learned how to use artificial intelligence to manage Mamalluca's emails.
Then she wrote to him... and Mamalluca replied.

castle and vines

She lied about what she owned. He lied about what he was fleeing.
Diane de Rochebrune has a manor, vineyards as far as the eye can see, and a heart tired of being loved for the wrong reasons. So she invents a modest life, slips a small ad into an old newspaper, and waits.
Thousands of miles away, in a Beirut kitchen, Motaz Mansour is looking for a way out — any way out, except the one assigned to him. One sentence, just one, stops him cold: simple things have value.
Between them: letters, a sauce that never lies, a secret heavier than an entire estate — and the question that will haunt them to the end: can you trust someone when you've each built your truth on a lie? A Husband from the Catalogue — ten chapters where Touraine and Lebanon answer each other, where love must be earned rather than found, and where honor, sometimes, costs everything you have.
