The Journal of Alexandria Alexander #101
Description
At the last minute, I wanted to put together a novel with Tracery after all. This uses "The Journal of Albion Moonlight", a rather odd journal-style novel, for sentences structure, and then randomly picks words from https://github.com/dariusk/corpora for character names, descriptions, locations, etc.
This particular run of the generator script gave me a rather repetitive name for the main character, and I stuck with it.
The code makes journal entries through the months of May, June, July, and August, at which point is assumed that the character has lost track of all time, and is just counting the days.
