100 DAYS PROJECT: #72
The Game
This was the second attempt at a story; the first is neatly filed away for a more focused day to untangle. This is taken more directly from Steve’s story as far as an old man and a game of chess. It is a gentle story, short, and interpreted completely by the reader.
This time I’ve used the hypertext to allow no backtracking via looping. What this in effect does is keep a story to a single thread of five spaces. However, there are at least a dozen different paths by which to follow the story to one or the other ending. What you read then is a version of a single character’s life in the example of a day. I like it.
