L<\/span>ove the way this is going–it is as if the medium brings out a sense of magical realism that I’d noticed as well as a force working in Storyspace.<\/p>\n

Yolanda was dancing with a large black bear.\u00a0 It was
\nlight on its feet and its smile revealed clean long white teeth.\u00a0 She
\nwas falling in love.<\/p>\n

As the music gathered together in pace and
\nintensity, the bear whirled her around and around until she felt she
\nwas flying.\u00a0 She’d never felt so happy and free.\u00a0 The sweet smooth
\ntwanging of the guitars and the rattling beat stopped with a loud
\nflourish and he caught her in his paws and lifted her high above his
\nhead.\u00a0 An angel flying in the sky; a white cloud drifting over the
\ntroubles of the cockroaches in the cornmeal and the putrid water from a
\ndying well.<\/p>\n

She was in ecstasy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The map, however, is not going to be one of many paths unless I learn a better way of maneuvering within it.\u00a0 While I do like the idea of a\u00a0 thread of\u00a0 singular narrative and the side trail of embellishment or enhanced informational text, I think I do see this as a middle ground between the complete freedom of Storyspace and the restrictive borders of traditional text.\u00a0 Then again, I may only need to adjust story to medium, or select medium to match story.
