At the conclusion of James Joyce's modernist masterpiece 'Ulysses,' Molly Bloom lays in bed next to her husband Leopold Bloom, reflecting on the day he proposed to her at Howth's Head. 

Presented as a stream of consciousness, this was a new and revolutionary technique for 1920. Since used by writers like Virgina Wolf, William Faulkner, Dave Eggers and much more.

What if we put the reader in control of the "stream"? Here is my take on exactly that. I'm using the HTML5 canvas element to render text as influenced by your interaction.

Move your mouse and draw your own conclusion to 'Ulysses'. Try varying your speed and direction. Note the different ages of James Joyce presented as "background" to this inner dialogue. Try it out.
