STORYSPACE: The Hanging – Diving back into story
Even as I wrap up a creative writing course with one new hypertext and two half-decent unhypertexted stories under my belt, I return again to this Storyspace work I’d started on a couple months ago and somehow drifted far away from.
During the Tunxis Writers Festival yesterday I hooked up to the internet and played a bit and then found myself checking out the Storyspace work I have here on the laptop. I read The Hanging as if I’d never seen it before–as if I hadn’t been the one who wrote it. There’s a story here I like. Though the characters never grabbed me completely as did Yolanda in A Bottle of Beer, I think I have found some feeling for them, something behind their sullen unwillingness to divulge their story quite as easily as did Yolanda. But then, Yolanda only had an hour or so to live.
