It's not that hard to fill all the conditions. But seriously I'm finding it difficult to pun with just the two programming languages part. Should definitely cross post this to r/books or r/programming to see if even part of it is possible.

Beauty is the air around him. The soft sweet sent of his affection, the warmth of his love for me. Beauty is my hand in his, bound until death do us part. It's the memorization of every crease, line, wrinkle, and mole. Beauty is feeling the harmony of two souls create light where before there was emptiness.

[WP] Warfare in a Steam Punk world
I will never forget the morning of November the 17th, my 17th birthday, when I first saw just how evil people could be. There were around 300 of us crowded into the miserable trenches overlooking the ravished European countryside. Most of them, of course, were boys my age, farmer's sons who had never seen any real ac...

[WP] Warfare in a Steam Punk world
One eye is enough, I think. One arm to communicate, One eye to revise my work, a mind made sharp and cruel by war, and a heart made cold by the corpses of friends. It doesn't exactly matter what I think, but I'm lucky that my government agrees. After serving in the military for twenty years we are given the formal ti...

[WP] Humans hibernate all winter, with the exception of "necessary personnel"
Hanish's journal: December 6th, 2192. Gale (Stavoc colony world) __________________________________ 8:45 AM I woke up at about 6AM today. I miss Elloise, but I can wait until May.

[WP] Humans hibernate all winter, with the exception of "necessary personnel"
Jack smiled at me grimly, "It's a job to do and someone's got to do it and it's not like anyone else is signing up for it." I frowned at his frank honesty wishing I could say something to disagree. He was right, when all of humanity went into cryo for another winter there would always be someone needed to keep the popu...

[WP] Humans hibernate all winter, with the exception of "necessary personnel"
He had been sat there for almost an hour, wrapped in wool, impatience churning in his stomach. He scraped a fingernail across the thin film of frost coating the long, turquoise glass wall that kept him and precious few others from the rest of the sleeping city. He had never seen his Mother and Father so peaceful. Had...

[WP] Humans hibernate all winter, with the exception of "necessary personnel"
I hate this shift. It doesn't matter how much heat the machines give off, I still feel cold, right down to my core. Cold, and tired. I'd much rather be at home, curled up with my family, like the rest of civilization. There was real warmth there, huddled against the cold under a small mountain of blankets, sleeping awa...

[WP] Humans hibernate all winter, with the exception of "necessary personnel"
Damn and blast. The faint buzzing of a malfunctioning gear alarm pulsed at Macx's wrist, along with the attendant red pulsing line in his field of view, insisting and urgent. "Right, right... be there as soon as I can.", Macx muttered, the response muting the alarm. The directional aid stayed though, so he'd know wh...

Shock, awe, and fear in the moments after watching a single figure disarm a soldier, and then kill his entire platoon followed by the figure turning back to the soldier, smiling with too many teeth.

There is something not quite right about the mirror in your hallway. Try to send this tale toward the more psychological aspect of horror.

Death quits. No matter how much mutilation and bodily harm you endure, your spirit still remains chained to your brain (and upon suffering severe brain destruction, you become a ghost). Describe a major battle in a world war, given that only extra-fatal attacks are viable.

[OT] We should write a book!!
Yes, it has been recommended in the past. We have been trying to put together a magazine, which is difficult enough, and then have it be a quarterly thing. The idea is that it would have to be something free because charging for it would bring far too many issues. But, we are indeed working on such a thing. Thanks for ...
