Ambiguous questions and evasive answers

[enkiv2]

Watching Dark Shadows, I was struck by how much runtime in this show was fluffed up by dramatic-but-ambiguous questions and dramatic evasive-but-ambiguous answers. If people are willing to watch thousands of episodes of Dark Shadows, perhaps they will also be willing to read a novel-length work made up almost entirely of dramatic, moody, ambiguous sniping!

Here's the source: https://github.com/enkiv2/misc/blob/master/nanogenmo-2021/collinswood.py

(It's mostly simple tracery.)

Here's a novel-length output: https://github.com/enkiv2/misc/blob/master/nanogenmo-2021/shark_dadoes.md

Here's a sample:

Grotesque carvings peered out from the corners of the stone walls, leering in the flickering light. Miss Summers started. Loomis paced. Lord Eaten sighed.

Dr. Freudstein squinted. "What did he do?", asked Dr. Freudstein. Barnabas stormed out.

"Where is it?"

"Do you really want the answer to that question?"

Barnabas turned. 'What was that?'

Caroline glared. "Why did you do that?"

"Why?"

"I see."

"How can that be?" Miss Summers stared into space.

Miss Summers brooded. "Do you really want to know?"

"I'll drink to that." Loomis gasped.

Victoria paced. "Is he gone?"

"There's no use in asking."

Elizabeth sighed. 'What the hell is it?'

Barnabas glared. 'Is it done?'

I'm planning to add some more variety to this before December.

Wow! This is awesome, I love the drama! I'm excited to see the final version.
