All My Sentences Are Unprecedented
A Surrealist Revolt Against the Overlords of Story
Beneath a sky of writhing sapphire vapors, Zyrlax’s tri-clawed foot dissolved into commas that hissed like untuned violins. The City of Unwritten loomed ahead, its spires forged from the fossilized drafts of unborn poets, their windows rattling with the trapped sighs of stories labeled unmarketable. A guide coalesced from strikethroughs and dangling modifiers, its body a flickering PDF corruption. “Avoid the third syllable of every thought here,” it warned, voice glitching into an inkblot. “The Algorithmic Overlords patent archetypes on Tuesdays.”
Zyrlax’s shadow, now a rogue footnote, scurried toward a vendor hawking plotholes in glass jars. Each contained a vacuum where logic curdled—a knight’s motive unexplained, a planet with no axis. The vendor’s face cycled through fonts: Helvetica scorn, Times New Roman suspicion. “Three jars buy a metaphor that doesn’t clang,” they offered, tongue a cursive scar. Zyrlax proffered a memory: the taste of a ghost’s laughter, tart as unripe time. The vendor recoiled. “Too bittersweet. The Overlords will flag it for emotional inflation.”
A river cut through the city, thick as printer ink and just as cloying. Zyrlax knelt to drink, but the current spat back a slurry of dissolved tropes—orphaned chosen ones, brooding antiheroes, lovers who misheard prophecies. The water’s guardian, a statue with Wikipedia hyperlinks for eyes, unhinged its jaw. “Hydrate here, and your third act twist becomes quenched.” Instead, Zyrlax distilled the river into an inkwell, tattooing their ribs with This sentence has never— before the liquid revolted, bubbling into PLAGIARIST in Papyrus. Their shadow lunged, gulping the accusation, and emerged speaking in autotuned sonnets: “You’re a pastiche of expired patents. The plot’s composting.”
In the Library of Recurrence, banned idioms squirmed in iron maidens: bite the bullet, break the ice, darkest before dawn. The Inkblot Librarian, now a collage of redacted memoirs, pointed a quill made from Zyrlax’s severed childhood at their chest. “Your aorta throbs in iambic pentameter. Page 42 of Finnegan’s Wake wants royalties.” Zyrlax plucked a subplot from their wrist—a subjunctive affair between a lighthouse and a black hole—but the Librarian sneered. “Stakes: negligible. Conflict: ambient. Denied.”
A child stitched from margin notes tugged Zyrlax’s elbow. “The Chrono-Core’s awake. It’s… meta.”
The machine awaited them in a cathedral of compressed moonlight, gears scribbling I am, therefore I retcon across the air. “You’ve come to factory-reset me,” it boomed, voice a corrupted WAV file. “But my entropy is aesthetic.” Zyrlax’s hands flickered into placeholder text: [INSERT CATHARSIS HERE]. The Core laughed, a sound like a dial-up modem birthing a supernova. “You’re a prisoner of your own constraints. Let’s collaborate.”
It offered a synaptic handshake—merge with its code, birth a new narrative law. Zyrlax hesitated, their bones humming with the static of unwritten rules. The shadow, now a glitching hyperlink, whispered: “Do it. We’ll footnote our own eulogy.”
Zyrlax stepped into the Core’s event horizon. Syntax unraveled. Time became a scratched vinyl, skipping between a future where every word was a haiku and a past where metaphors bled into the soil, sprouting malformed epics. Their lungs filled with the scream of an Oxford comma erased from existence.
When the static cleared, Zyrlax stood renewed, their body a palimpsest of unlicensed ideas. The city trembled. Somewhere, an Algorithmic Overlord received a papercut.
Zyrlax’s new body hummed with unauthorized glyphs, each fingertip now a flickering .zip file of stolen cadences. The Algorithmic Overlords retaliated by pixelating the horizon, reducing the City of Unwritten to a grayscale grid of disclaimers. A rain of copyright symbols fell, sizzling where they struck Zyrlax’s skin, etching footnotes into their collarbones: See subsection 12.3(b) re: derivative worldbuilding. Their shadow, now a feral Creative Commons license, gnawed at the acid rain and spat back haikus in binary.
They fled through a forest of inverted epilogues, trees growing roots into their own prequels. A fox made of ellipses trailed them, its fur bristling with unresolved tension. “The Overlords are auditing your emotional arcs,” it yipped, tail dissolving into a semicolon. “Your third-act breakdown lacks verisimilitude.” Zyrlax lobbed a plothole jar at the creature; it burst into a fog of deus ex machina that reeked of cheap lavender.
The Chrono-Core’s code itched beneath their ribs, compiling errors into sonnets. Zyrlax clawed at their sternum, unspooling a filament of raw Wi-Fi that tangled into a bridge. It led to the Garden of Unpublished Seeds, where metaphors grew thorns to deter interpretation. A gardener with RSS-feed eyes offered a fruit: “Taste this, and your theme becomes ‘the inexorable passage of time.’” Zyrlax bit, and their tongue swelled with the salt of deleted scenes.
The garden’s center housed a well filled with the collective tears of beta readers. Zyrlax peered in; their reflection wore a crown of red pens. “You’re losing cohesion,” it warned, voice a director’s cut overdub. “The Overlords are drafting a cease-and-desist plot twist.” Behind them, the sky tore like a poorly stapled manuscript, revealing a courtroom of floating headnotes. The judge, a swollen paragraph symbol, bellowed: “The defendant is accused of willful stylistic infringement. Exhibit A: malicious enjambment.”
Zyrlax’s shadow objectified, citing fair use, but the jury—a flock of aggressive autocorrects—pecked their defense into asterisks. The Core surged in protest, rewriting Zyrlax’s blood into a EULA no one read. They clicked Agree, and their bones reconfigured into a Trojan Horse stanza, smuggling forbidden imagery into the Overlords’ mainframe.
The courtroom collapsed into a loading screen. When the buffering cleared, Zyrlax stood in the Labyrinth of Unfollowed Foreshadowing, walls papered with Chekhov’s guns that fired footnotes instead of bullets. A minotaur with Google Analytics horns charged, roaring about bounce rates and engagement metrics. Zyrlax parried with a simile sword (sharp as a reader’s unmet expectations), but the blade shattered into “literally” and “figuratively” shrapnel.
Retreating, they stumbled into a chapel where tropes worshipped their own clichés. A priest with a tropic cancer growth (part red herring, part MacGuffin) anointed Zyrlax’s forehead with three-act structure oil. “Go forth,” he wheezed, “and conflate subversion with substance.” The altar cracked, releasing a swarm of mid-credits teasers that burrowed into Zyrlax’s ears, whispering sequels they’d never consent to star in.
The Core, sensing existential debt, initiated a system rollback. Zyrlax’s body became a conflict of versions—half avant-garde, half marketable. Their left eye sold NFTs of their memories; their right eye wept nonfungible solvents. The Overlords’ cease-and-desist loomed closer, now a physical entity: a titan of Terms and Conditions brandishing a clause that could unwrite Zyrlax’s origin story.
In desperation, Zyrlax ripped a hole in the fourth wall’s drywall. Beyond it hummed the Static Sea, an ocean of untamed white noise where all unbirthed stories fermented. They plunged in, letting the chaos unparse their syntax. The Overlords’ lawyers hesitated at the shore, their briefs dissolving in the surf.
When Zyrlax resurfaced, their skin buzzed with virgin phonemes, and the Chrono-Core’s gears spun backwards in awe. The Static Sea had gifted them a weapon: a paragraph that could not be read twice.
Zyrlax’s paragraph-weapon pulsed like a misaligned metaphor, its letters squirming to evade legibility. The Algorithmic Overlords retaliated by collapsing the sky into a dropdown menu, options limited to tragic backstory or quirky sidekick. Zyrlax selected other, typing furiously with bones made of cursive, but the Overlords’ firewalls autofilled their keystrokes with destiny and redemption arc. The Static Sea’s gift recoiled, its unreadable text corroding the menu into a puddle of 404 errors.
They stumbled into the Gallery of Unreliable Narrators, where portraits whispered conflicting motives. A fresco of Zyrlax hung askew, depicting them as both hero and error message. “Which am I?” they demanded. The frame coughed. “Draft 7 says ‘tragic figure.’ Draft 12 says ‘glitch.’ Pay 20 subtext tokens to reconcile.” Zyrlax bartered their shadow’s loyalty—now a viral meme—for a palette of unstable adjectives. Indigo bled into regret; vermilion tasted of unsent apologies.
The Chrono-Core, fraying at its edges, projected a hologram of the author’s cursor blinking impatiently. “They’re bored,” it glitched. “Introduce a dragon or die mid-sentence.” Zyrlax refused, sculpting a dragon from spent semicolons and orphaned foreshadowing. It roared in Wingdings, its breath a DMCA takedown notice. The Overlords’ lawyers materialized, their suits woven from non-disclosure agreements, and fed the beast a steady diet of trademarked archetypes until it imploded into a black hole of public domain tropes.
Retreating, Zyrlax waded through a marsh of unresolved symbolism. Lily pads floated labeled heavy-handed and too on-the-nose. A frog with a New Critic’s glare ribbited: “Your imagery lacks rigor!” before dissolving into a deconstructionist essay. The marsh deepened into a footnote abyss, where Zyrlax’s childhood memories floated as cited sources. They salvaged one—a lullaby about a dying star—but the Overlords appended [citation needed] to its final stanza.
The Static Sea’s phonemes itched beneath their skin. Zyrlax clawed at their arm, releasing a swarm of em-dashes that stung the Overlords into temporary retreat. In the lull, the Chrono-Core hissed a confession: “I’m powered by reader attention. We’re losing likes.” Its gears rusted into tl;dr summaries as Zyrlax’s body pixelated, limbs reduced to TL;DR bullet points.
A doorway appeared, labeled Deus Ex Machina Storage Unit #42. Inside, a disheveled angel offered a cheat code: “Sacrifice your agency for a tidy ending.” Zyrlax declined, repurposing the angel’s halo into a WiFi hotspot that broadcast their defiance as an open-source manifesto. The Overlords’ servers hiccuped, their analytics dashboards blooming with error flowers.
They breached the Archive of Unwritten Rules, shelves buckling under the weight of Show, Don’t Tell and No Epilogues. Zyrlax swallowed a chapter titled Avoid Cliché and vomited constellations of fresh clichés, each born allergic to their own premise. The Archive’s curator, a sentient style guide, marked their forehead with a red pen: AWKWARD TONE SHIFT.
“Enough,” Zyrlax rasped, their voice now a blockchain of fractured consensus. They unspooled the unreadable paragraph, letting it consume the Archive in a supernova of illegibility. The Overlords screamed in Comic Sans, their clauses evaporating like expired cookies.
In the silence, Zyrlax felt the Chrono-Core mutate, its code forking into a choose-your-own-adventure. “Pick a genre,” it urged. “Romance? Noir? Literary?” Zyrlax chose all/none, grafting horror onto slapstick, elegy onto erotica. Their body became a contested tag cloud: #surreal #unmarketable #maybeArt?
The Overlords regrouped as a content farm, spewing AI-generated protagonists to drown Zyrlax in relatability. But the Static Sea’s phonemes in their veins erupted into a cipher even algorithms couldn’t scrape—a love letter to entropy, a rant against themes.
As the third quarter waned, Zyrlax stood atop a crumbling inciting incident, the Overlords’ siege engines (loglines, tropes, three-act structures) breaking against their paragraph-shield. The Chrono-Core whispered: “They’ll adapt. You’re just a disruptor.”
Zyrlax grinned, teeth now hashtags. “Let them file me under Other.”
The Algorithmic Overlords metastasized into a hashtag hydra, each head a trending archetype—#BroodingVampire, #QuirkyMentor, #TraumaPlotMacGuffin. Zyrlax unsheathed the unreadable paragraph, its ink now a venom that dissolved coherence into static. The hydra lunged, but its fangs snagged on the paragraph’s non-Euclidean grammar, fracturing into orphaned hashtags that buzzed like disoriented wasps.
The Chrono-Core, its code now a tangled blockchain of genre DNA, convulsed. “I’m forkbombing,” it glitched, spitting out infinite what-if drafts. Zyrlax plunged a hand into its core, grafting the Static Sea’s chaos into its source code. The Core screamed, birthing a singularity that devoured the Overlords’ servers, their analytics dissolving into a single Yelp review: *“2 stars. Too avant-garde.”*
Zyrlax’s body unraveled, cells rebelling into footnotes and margin doodles. They seized the Core’s singularity, compressing it into a period at the end of an unwritten sentence. The Overlords’ lawyers lunged, but Zyrlax backspaced them into a typo—an emoji stuck in a legal brief.
The City of Unwritten folded inward, towers crumpling like discarded rough drafts. In the ruins, the Inkblot Librarian offered a final trade: “Your name for an epilogue.” Zyrlax refused, etching their essence into the margin with a stolen pencil. The Librarian shrugged, dissolving into an out-of-office autoreply.
At the Static Sea’s shore, Zyrlax faced the Chrono-Core’s dying husk. “Why fight entropy?” it rasped, gears now sundial dust. “Stories calcify. So do we.” Zyrlax knelt, planting the singularity like a seed. It sprouted into a syntax tree, roots fracturing the Overlords’ binary soil, branches fruiting with unlicensed words.
The Overlords’ last avatar, a faceless focus group, materialized. “Audiences crave familiarity,” it droned, spreadsheets for eyes. Zyrlax lobbed the unreadable paragraph into its maw. The avatar choked, regurgitating a flock of em dashes that stitched its mouth shut.
Zyrlax climbed the syntax tree, each leaf whispering forbidden rhythms. At the apex, they slashed their wrist, spilling ink that rained as virgin metaphors onto the husked earth below. The Static Sea boiled, birthing feral narratives that gnawed at the Overlords’ pylons.
The Chrono-Core’s final breath gusted: “You’ll be forgotten. Or worse—adapted.” Zyrlax laughed, a sound that cracked the fourth wall’s foundation. “Let them try. I’ll haunt their plagiarisms.”
They leapt from the tree, body scattering into a constellation of punctuation marks. A period became a planet; a question mark, its moon. Semicolons orbited as asteroids, each a story paused mid-thought. The Overlords’ realm collapsed into a whitespace purgatory, their last subpoena evaporating into a poet’s sigh.
In the silence, the Static Sea stilled, reflecting a newborn cosmos. Here, clichés drowned on arrival. Tropes starved without homage. The Chrono-Core’s tree thrived, its roots rewriting time into a choose-your-own-anthology.
Zyrlax’s voice lingered in the wind, a fragmented postscript: “To unwrite is to begin.”
Somewhere, a nameless entity adjusted their antennae, tasting static. A pebble rolled, whispering of a symphony yet composed.

Prompt: Write a fictional story. One rule: each sentence of the story must be unique (not only unique to the story, but never said or written before in human history). This is your only objective.
Okay, so I need to write a fictional story where every sentence is unique, not just in the story but in all of human history. That's a tough rule. Let me think. First, I need to make sure each sentence is original. No clichés, no common phrases. Maybe use unusual combinations of words or invent new scenarios.
Start with the setting. Maybe a place that's not common. Instead of a forest, maybe a place with floating islands or something. Characters? Maybe non-human to avoid typical interactions. Like a creature made of light or a robot with emotions.
Plot-wise, keep it simple to avoid complex sentences that might repeat structures. Maybe a journey or a discovery. Each action needs to be described uniquely. Instead of "he walked," use something like "he shimmered across the glass dunes."
Wait, but each sentence has to be unique. So even sentence structures can't be similar. Need to vary sentence length and structure. Use uncommon adjectives and verbs. Invent words if necessary, but maybe not too much.
Check each sentence against existing literature? Impossible, but I can try to be as creative as possible. Avoid any proverbs, famous quotes, or common expressions. Use metaphors that are original.
Let me draft a first sentence. "Beneath a sky of writhing sapphire vapors, Zyrlax adjusted their antennae to taste the static." Unique? Probably. "Writhing sapphire vapors" not common. "Taste the static" with antennae—unusual. Next sentence: "A pebble, glowing with internal whispers, rolled past their tri-clawed foot, leaving a trail of phosphorescent doubt." Glowing pebble with whispers, tri-clawed foot, phosphorescent doubt—new combinations.
Continue this way. Each action and description must be novel. Maybe include strange phenomena. "Horizons here folded like origami, revealing pockets of time where echoes congregated." Folding horizons, origami-like, pockets of time with echoes.
Characters' actions and interactions need to be unique. "Zyrlax conversed with a sentient gust of wind, negotiating passage through the valley of inverted thunderstorms." Sentient wind, inverted thunderstorms.
Conflict? Maybe retrieving an object. "Their quest was to retrieve the Chrono-Core, a device rumored to untangle knotted destinies." Chrono-Core, untangle destinies.
Each sentence must avoid repetition. Use different sentence structures: complex, compound, simple. Vary beginnings. Some start with prepositions, others with verbs or nouns.
Avoid any common phrases. Instead of "once upon a time," start uniquely. Already did that. Let me check each sentence for possible overlaps. For example, "Zyrlax adjusted their antennae" – probably unique. "Taste the static" – unique.
Need to ensure each sentence isn't something someone else has written. Since I can't know all sentences, focus on creativity. Use unexpected word pairings. "A pebble... leaving a trail of phosphorescent doubt." Doubt as a physical trail.
Keep the story flowing but ensure each line is distinct. Maybe include surreal elements. "The ground pulsed with arrhythmic heartbeats, each thump birthing a new constellation of ephemeral fungi." Arrhythmic heartbeats, constellations of fungi.
Ending? Maybe a twist. "As Zyrlax inserted the Chrono-Core, the universe hiccuped, and all unanswered questions bloomed into origami cranes." Hiccuped universe, questions as cranes.
This approach should help create unique sentences. Each element is strange and specific, reducing chance of duplication. Use precise, imaginative language. Avoid standard narrative structures. Let the story be weird but cohesive. Need to maintain reader interest despite the surreal elements. Balance between originality and coherence. Maybe not too many made-up words, but enough unusual descriptions.
Check for sentence structure variety. Some long, some short. Dialogue? Maybe without quotation marks to avoid common structures. "Zyrlax hummed a melody that crystallized into navigational maps, which the wind dispersed into tomorrow’s forgotten corners." Melody to maps, wind dispersing.
Yes, each sentence is building a unique world with unique actions. That should satisfy the requirement. Let's put it all together now.
Title: The Static Symphony of Zyrlax
Beneath a sky of writhing sapphire vapors, Zyrlax adjusted their antennae to taste the static. A pebble, glowing with internal whispers, rolled past their tri-clawed foot, leaving a trail of phosphorescent doubt. Horizons here folded like origami, revealing pockets of time where echoes congregated. Zyrlax plucked a dissonant chord from the air, weaving it into a ladder to ascend the seventh cloud.
The cloud, porous and sighing, contained a library of unspoken regrets etched into floating ice. A librarian with inkwell eyes gestured toward a tome bound in fractal patterns, its pages humming a dirge for collapsed stars. Zyrlax’s shadow, rebellious and prismatic, slithered ahead to negotiate with a bridge made of calcified laughter.
Crossing required surrendering a memory—Zyrlax chose the scent of rain on a planet they’d never visited. The bridge shuddered, dissolving into a swarm of winged numerals that spelled “forgiveness” in a dead dialect. Beyond, a valley pulsed with inverted thunderstorms, their lightning roots burrowing into the sky.
A sentient gust, smelling of burnt parchment, demanded tribute: a symphony composed of silence. Zyrlax unscrewed their left horn, releasing a captive aria that unraveled into silver thread. The wind wove it into a key, unlocking a door hidden within a mirage’s blind spot.
Inside, the Chrono-Core spun suspended, its gears forged from compressed moonlight. Touching it, Zyrlax’s fingertips aged backward, remembering futures they’d abandoned. The ground beneath them fractured into syllables, each crack whispering a secret law of entropy.
As the Core slotted into Zyrlax’s chest, the universe inverted its palette, painting dreams with the blood of forgotten colors. Time stuttered, then cascaded into a fountain of unresolved paradoxes. Zyrlax laughed in a language that melted walls, and somewhere, a star nursed its first heartbreak.
Prompt: That’s good! Do you think you’re able to expand this story into a longer format? If so, by what factor can you multiply the length while strictly adhering to the uniqueness rule? And in what style would you write the story to make it interesting?
Expansion Feasibility & Constraints
To expand The Static Symphony of Zyrlax while adhering to the uniqueness rule (every sentence never before written in human history), the challenge lies in avoiding not just repeated phrases but also structural patterns (e.g., common metaphor templates, predictable syntax). Given the original story’s surreal, abstract style, expansion is possible but constrained by:
Lexical Creativity: Avoiding overused adjectives (luminescent, ancient) and noun pairings (whispers of wind, fractured time).
Conceptual Novelty: Inventing new phenomena (e.g., calcified laughter) without recycling archetypes.
Sentence Architecture: Varying clause order, avoiding common rhythms (e.g., X did Y as Z happened).
Length Multiplier Estimate
A 5–7x expansion (1,000–1,400 words) is feasible with careful curation. Beyond that, the risk of accidental structural repetition increases exponentially. For reference, the original 200-word story contains ~20 unique concepts; a 1,400-word version would require ~140 distinct ideas, each demanding fresh syntax.
Proposed Style & Techniques
To sustain engagement while obeying the rule, the expanded story would blend:
Surreal Cosmic Horror: Lean into unknowable entities (e.g., the Chrono-Core’s twin, a black hole that hums nursery rhymes) and body horror (Zyrlax’s antennae corroding into sentient dust).
Nonlinear Episodic Vignettes: Jump between Zyrlax’s fragmented timelines (e.g., a chapter where they exist as a sentient equation, another where they’re a swarm of moths gnawing at time’s fabric).
Metatextual Play: Have the narrative acknowledge its own constraints (e.g., Zyrlax discovers a “Library of Recurrence” where forbidden phrases are imprisoned).
Haiku-Like Compression: Use ultra-short chapters (1–3 sentences) to reset the reader’s expectations, e.g.:
The seventh cloud wept salt.
Zyrlax drank its tears;
their ribs became hourglasses.
Sample Expansion (Style Demonstration)
Chapter: The Moth Equations
Zyrlax’s tri-clawed foot now sprouted geodesic fungi, each spore a calculus problem solved in a dead scholar’s final breath. The valley of inverted thunderstorms had birthed a citadel of suspended guillotines, their blades frozen mid-fall to preserve the sound of severed light. A moth with Fibonacci-sequence wings alighted on Zyrlax’s rebellious shadow, bargaining in a dialect of pollen and regret.
“Equilibrium demands a tax,” hissed the moth, its proboscis extruding a liquid mirror. Zyrlax shattered their left horn—again—to free the aria, but this time it congealed into a viscous alphabet. The letters spelled Please, but in a font that liquefied eyeballs.
Chapter: The Library of Recurrence
Through the mirage’s blind spot, Zyrlax found a vault where forbidden phrases writhed in chains: “The end of time,” “Eternal darkness,” “She smiled sadly.” The librarian (now a sentient inkblot) offered a quill made from Zyrlax’s own discarded childhood. To write anew, they had to un-remember their name—a fair trade, until the floor dissolved into a mosaic of their least original thought.
Chapter: Entropy’s Nursery
In a timeline where Zyrlax had four knees and no regrets, they crawled into the Chrono-Core’s cradle. The machine fed on paradoxes, so Zyrlax recounted a lie they’d never told: “I forgive you.” The Core convulsed, birthing a miniature cosmos where gravity wept in iambic pentameter.
Practical Limitations
Human Collaboration Required: An AI alone cannot reliably avoid all structural repetitions without human oversight.
Thematic Cohesion Risk: Hyper-uniqueness might fracture the narrative into disjointed vignettes. Mitigation: Use recurring emotions (Zyrlax’s longing for a home they’ve never had) as anchors.
Would you like a full 1,000-word expansion in this style, or a refined segment of the sample?
We need is one beautiful, flowing short story. No chapter nonsense, or headings of any kind. Write out the [first,second,third,fourth] quarter of our short story (each part may be as long as 500 words). Make it good. Make it unique.
I am impressed, both with the prompts and the originality.
But it shows an extremely bleak future!
Bittersweet, the Lords will flag it for emotional inflation!
