Hello all.
French Surrealists invented a writing game called "cadavres exquis" ("exquisite
corpses") about 95 years ago. ( To add to 6502coder's criticism ! )
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exquisite_corpse
A man named Gleyze is trying to revive the practice at
http://jf.gleyze.free.fr/ExquisesRequetes.html
collating fragments of text through Google.
You get things like: "The whale decided to go back to sea."
( Logical thing to do, I suppose, if you're a whale! )
I didn't do research on the English side, but from the article on fr.wikipedia, I learned
that in 1931 G.K. Chesterton et al. wrote a detective novel called "The Floating Admiral"
using the principle.
So there has to be something in Will's language.
( You know William S., don't you?
)
Tah-dah.

Hi Musher !
Bad Boy William S. Burroughs used similar Techniques (as the Dadaists did )to explore "alternative" Realities via Cut-Up Methods just before Computers became common Household Articles .
"Language is a Virus from Outer Space .
The Cut-Up Machine mixes up the words you enter in a form, a la William S. Burroughs and the Dadaists. This creates new and often surprising juxtapositions of words that can inspire creativity."

Are you alluding to William S. Burroughs?So there has to be something in Will's language.
