100 DAYS PROJECT: #60
On The Question of Ascension
When I read Steve’s story the image I got was of Remedios the Beauty, a lovelier part of the family in Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s 100 Years of Solitude. I still see the women folding sheets in the breezes of the day when Remedios ascends into the sky.
So I took those ideas in this story and put it in the first person narrator telling about something that was going on when he was a child that affected his life in ways we can only grab a glimpse.
The mapping appears disorderly–like my early hypertexts–and yet I believe because the story is for the most part non linear there is some fun in hopping about to different thoughts and perspectives with the narrator.
