Example usage

The following is an example prompt generated with this The Visitor.

You are drawn to the desert to overcome unnatural visions. Legend has it a cure can be found in the great round basin. You arrive there moments before a full eclipse. A small mouse flees through shimmering waves in the air.

A geometric converging pattern of light begins focusing on the center of the pillar. From it floats a quickly crackling sphere of lightning. It probs with each crackle of light, curious of its surroundings. It seeks to explore this land as a favor to another of its kind.
