Based on the Writing Style of Finnegans Wake
Jain, unwaking in the autumn night after the flaviance of sundunity, didst rewake in the planteau land sleepsisted from the burriburrito rounanroun. Trustpanioned by her Dible, Jain henagged a toyfant merripression and leaplisted into the makeshift unreasoning of the wakerspace.
Jane, who is the embodiment of joy and pain, went to sleep after the beautiful, beige-ish sunset that radiated with flames and the dancing of birds. She found herself in her dreamspace, a plateau style planet. She ate a large burrito before this dream, which felt eternal. That burrito helped push her into a sleep coma.
In her dream, she had her trusty companion: the Donna Bible (Dible). She leapt into the completely bonkers, illogical space of her dream space with a merry expression, as if an infant playing with a toy.
