Week 1 Assignment, part 3 - Hypertext Narrative

The Brain of Katherine Mansfield offers a sarcastic approach to bad narrative decisions. Any time you are lame and end up closing the book, you receive a tongue lashing, "Fool! Miserable worm! Prepare to pay the price of your despicable need for security. You enter the house to find the bloody bodies of your parents on the floor. Also your puppy, Shane. Even now an escaped axe murderer lies in wait for you behind the bathroom door. The adventure on which you refused to embark is already over." Moral of the story: party-poopers and scaredy-cats need not apply.

    Hypertext for grown-ups. With consequences. Nice

    Design very simple but I like the design of the numbers at top of the pages. The progress isn't linear and loops back. These hyperlinks seem to be all about choice at least this one concedes that in the narrative. But, you're right, what is about hypertext narratives and the tongue lashings?
