Ernest Hemingway’s ‘The Dreamer of South Miami High’ (A Scene from ‘Reunion’ As Rewritten by Bing Chat in the Style of Hemingway)


What if Ernest Hemingway had written Reunion: A Story? Image by Anne and Saturnino Miranda from Pixabay 

Okay, I’ve asked Bing Chat to reinterpret bits of my novella, Reunion, in the style of Shakespeare, Poe, and Clancy. Now, here’s another brief snippet (without much context, I admit) from the novella rewritten by OpenAI’s Bing Chat in the style of Ernest Hemingway.

I sit alone in the old English classroom. Shakespeare’s Macbeth in hand. The clock ticks. Pages rustle. Martina Reynaud enters. Tall, graceful, breathtaking. Black dress, long legs. Peaches-and-cream complexion. Chestnut hair cascades. Feminine elegance.

Perfume of jasmine and orange blossoms. She sits next to me. Smiles. My heart skips. Men would kill for her smile. Warmth and affection in her hazel eyes.

“Hi, Jimmy,” she says. Soft voice, British accent.

“Hi,” I reply. Inarticulate as a mango. Willpower mustered, I focus on Shakespeare.

A Dreamer’s Reverie

Perfume of jasmine and orange blossoms. She sits next to me. Smiles. My heart skips. Men would kill for her smile. Warmth and affection in her hazel eyes.
