  You rush over to the door and open it up. You see a man with a huge axe standing
 there. He has long hair and wears a dirty t-shirt and jeans. His eyes are bloodshot
 and he has a big scar on his face
  > Say "Have you come to read the electricity meter?"

  You start walking towards him and raise your hand as if to call him over. He
 walks over to you and you both stare each other down before he speaks
  > Fight

  You grab his arm and pull it away from his face. He swings wildly at you, hitting
 you several times, but you dodge them all. Eventually he stops moving and falls
 backwards into the room. You look around and notice that the rest of the men
 are still standing around watching you
  > Go through his pockets

  You search his pockets and find nothing. You walk over to him and put your finger
 to his lips and whisper in his ear. He looks surprised and starts laughing.
 You turn back to the others and ask 
  > "Did you see that?"
  Say "Did you see that?"
... At which point it froze.

Edit. It's the usual local-syntax vs global-content problem. The syntax looks like English, which is an achievement, but the content lacks any larger sense of narrative form, contextual awareness, or subtext - all things you need to make an interesting readable experience.



Consistent global content would be right at home for symbolic AI techniques. I wonder if the ML model from the article could somehow be reappropriated for style transfer to layer on top of unreadably dry and factual symbolics output.
