Josette espionne rousse du réel.

Josette was writing a story for her fantasy : «  a man wakes up in a middle age castle. He remembers having dreamt about solar energy, electric cars, recycable rockets, transportation of trucks on rail and all sorts fo bizarre things from the XXIe century that he hardly understands. He can't remember if he's a king, a knight or a simple valet in this castle. Cause that man had slept during years and years, cause he's in the castle of « la belle au bois dormant ». »

«  So, if that man wakes up, it means a prince had kissed the princess, that's it ? »

Josette has a new friend, King of Mars who just asked her that question. He's the king of planet Mars in exile on Earth and he's got a double of himself riding a car along a circle in the deep space of the universe. Josette didn't ask him the reason of his exile cause for some reasons she doesn''t understand, King of Mars impress her. «  We don't know, she answers, maybe he wakes up for other reasons, because of an another story he belongs to that sends him a signal, and all the others keep on sleeping around him ... »

« So what options will you choose for the story you write ? », asks King of Mars to Josette .

« It's not that easy ! Now, you make me think about what i was writing, i think i can't go further, or maybe it's just i can't go further right now and have to wait for a while. I'm not a demiurg that decides about anything that happen in the story. I'm just the teller. »

« Ohhh, didn't know there's a difference !

« You say that because you're a king ! »

King of Mars has his Court in his pocket in a little rectangle that he used also to call people he loves, likes or not. So it's easy for him to be in the middle of his Court, it means people who love, like, admire him but also jealous people, spies and wannabe.

« So you're not like Sherazade, captive of an arab sultan who wants to kill you in the morning, so you need each night to invent story and story that never ends in order to live longer .. so you're not that, are you ?

«  Well, That's what i've heard about « les mille et une nuits », i never read it. I think Sherazade just listen the voices talking in the night trying to explain what had happened during the day and repeats them. But some voices are false and others encoded. »

« I know that , cause i'm a king. But Sherazade's doing that in order to stay alive … Is that you're doing ?».

« I don't know, maybe ».
