Jacob watched on at a safe, comfortable distance as a man wandered past the plaza, shouting madly."It's safe out there, I swear, oh Lord in Heaven who's Earth is clean! It's safe--"The man's shouting was suddenly halted by a bullet in his neck, where he fell to the ground, a city guard eyeing his dead body, slowly lowering his rifle."Code 4, all clear. Send them in. Reporting in for decontamination."The guard adjusted his aerator and headed off, knowing that he might full well die of what this idiot drug in with him, but safe in the fact that the town will survive. He had a look back over at the door the newly-created corpse ran through. It was at one point airtight, but a few centuries of abuse and neglect ran through it, and it looked to be more of a danger than an asset."And can we get someone out to patch that door?"From what was perceived to be his safe comfortable distance, Jacob decided this was far, far too close to anything recently shot, diseased, and otherwise deadly, and dashed back the way he came.
(14:18:32) sdc_tnikana: Here's my notes, as I wrote them:(14:18:47) sdc_tnikana: Decades of war, seismic and biological. (14:19:32) sdc_tnikana: Small community surrounded by large mountains is entirely fractured off from the mainland. Religious leaders in town have kept people from climbing the mountains only to see a sheer drop, followed by nothing at all.(14:19:55) sdc_tnikana: Last word heard broadcast were "economic turmoil", but that was over 150 years ago.(14:20:04) sdc_tnikana: So how do the citizens in town deal with this?(14:20:28) sdc_tnikana: The postmaster has a secret: he fakes the incoming mail; writes it all himself. Gives the people hope.(14:20:51) sdc_tnikana: There's a busted crop duster, too bad it can't fly, let alone get over the mountains.(14:21:16) sdc_tnikana: There's an old radio which has become the object of religious attention, its worshippers waiting for it to speak.(14:21:56) sdc_tnikana: The main character is a 52 year old male, living in town since he was born there. Through the actions of his two kids, he grows disenchanted with the system.(14:22:17) sdc_tnikana: However, there is absolutely nothing beyond the mountains, and in general, every last person is gently caressed.(14:22:21) sdc_tnikana: And this is where the story ends.(14:22:36) sdc_tnikana: I think it could work. ^_^(14:23:26) sdc_tnikana: I came up with this last night, with poking and prodding from friends. ^_^(14:25:29) sdc_tnikana: Now although it will never actually be revealed in the book, I'm trying to think of ways that such large amounts of geography could effectively be nullified.

Despite being one of the most well-known books of the 20th century, Finnegans Wake remains unread by the larger public. Joyce's methods of stream of consciousness, literary allusions and free dream associations are pushed to the limit in the book, which abandons conventions of plot and character construction and which is written in a unique language based mainly on complex multi-level puns. Although many readers and commentators have reached a broad consensus about the central cast of characters and general story, many details remain elusive.
