What is left when you're bereft?

If the world were a glass, would it be half full or half empty?

What can you do when there's nothing left to do?

About this project: 

We wanted to see what an artist might have produced given only a quote and a few contextual hints. In most cases we generated a single image to see how well the machine's dreams captured some meaningful aspect of the text. 

All of the quotes in this series of images come from The Alyscrai, Book One of the Looking Glass of Souls, by D.H. Aidan. You can learn more by following the "Buy Print" link to the book's page on Amazon.

This came out very nice! It seems like the AI struggles with faces and hands especially so this is impressive =)

Thank-you!
AI does seem to be a source of surprises, for better or worse, especially in terms of anatomy!
I just count it as luck of the draw (all puns intended.).

After at least a minute or two, she finally replied, “The same kind of dream you’ve been having…”. We both sat quietly for a while, and then she hung up after a quick, sorrowful, “Goodbye, love.”. I was stiff. I could hardly breathe. I scarcely moved. I was right. These dreams mean something, but even so, what {do} they mean? It was another hour until I got up and came back out to the Living Room. “What took ye’ so long?”, Dad asked. “It was…uh..”, I had no clue how to explain it. The best I could come up with was a mere, “It was Maisie, checkin’ in, y’know.”. Naturally, Mother wasn’t convinced. Dad seemed to understand my secrecy, but Mother retorted, “Ye’ were in there fer’ an {hour}! What actually happened?”. I sighed roughly, knowing there was no way in hell I was getting out of this. Eventually, I just muttered, “Nothin’…Just do-don’t worry about it.”. Mother kept biting back, “How can I not when yer’ being untruthful?”.

I finally snapped, slamming a fist onto a nearby table, yelling out, “I said I’m fine!”. She stumbled back, startled by my outburst. I slowly looked down at my hand, which now lightly trickled blood. I looked to the clock. 3. “I have to go…”, I stuttered, slowly turning around towards the front door. “Thank you..”, I mumbled back to them as I left. I walked down to the edge of the hill, and before going down, glanced back at the house. I saw Mother standing there, a solemn, yet understanding expression on her face. She waved, mouthing the words, “Bye, Lamb.”, and walked back inside. I shed a single tear, feeling terrible, still continuing down the hill. I reached the end of the hill, got in my car, and headed off. Hours passed. The sun set. The night awoke. I pulled over to the side of the road, still in the countryside. I pulled the seat back, laid down, and closed my eyes, dozing off near-instantly. 

I only saw black. Only for a while. I then opened my eyes, finding myself in a harrowing, yet familiar place. I forced myself to stand, looking straight ahead to see Maisie, kneeling down. I rushed over to her, seeing her face-to-face. Her eyes were blank. I tried shaking her in attempt to wake her up, but all was in vain. She was still. Unmoving. I held her close, sobbing a bit. Her body was cold. Frigid, even. I pulled away from her, looking her dead in the eyes again. This time, they were different. They were blackened. I heard an ear-shattering humming noise, looking around in a panic, seeing a void-ish black cloud darting right towards us. I sat still, and as it surrounded me, Maisie, and everything around us, I shot up in my seat. My breathing was heavy, uncontrolled. I looked around again, but this time I was in my car again. The same dream…again.

As I walked over to my old room, I realized Mother was right. My phone was still ringing. I pick it up to see who could’ve been calling. For a second, just a second, my heart stopped. It was Maisie. She never calls me around this hour. I pick up, putting the phone to my ear, and mutter a, “Hello?”, semi-panicked. “Erick,”, Maisie began, “When’ll you come home?”. I sighed in relief. Thank God. “I’ll be back in another day or two.”, I replied, still calming down a bit. She was silent for a bit, unnerving my slightly. “Could you…”, Maisie finally mumbled, “…come home tonight, maybe?”. I sat there in thought for a moment, “Lass, you-uh…you alright?”, I asked, starting to get worried. “Yes, I’m fine. I just…”, Maisie paused, “…I’m worried about you.”. “Eh?”, I didn’t quite understand, “Why…w-what’s wrong? What happened?”. “I had…a dream.”, She answered, “About you.”. I, again, paused, then asking, “What kind of dream?”. She was silent again.
