Immersive story-telling via online interaction, free to download
A short explanation on these digital fictions: by ‘digital’ I refer to narrative that you interact with. In the case of ‘Scorpions’ this means clicking on links to move the story. See the post Where Scorpions Fear to Tread for more about digital fiction.
Where Scorpions Fear to Tread Step into the minds of Anodos and Psyche to face inner demons and outer foes in a discovery of self. As you journey, meet famous and quirky historical and literary characters. This story is a reader immersed text. You follow two characters in the land of Phantastes ruled by giant scorpions who harvest human souls. Enjoy. Much love, Bice ❤️🔥
Scorpions is a narrative, not a game, yet you’ll see consequences to your choices, but like the character you inhabit, they pose inner questions and learning experiences. In essence the story goes on, and like the characters drawn to their destiny you have a destination. This story of mine reimagines characters from history and literature. The story world is in the land of Phantastes and time is a fluid realm. My imagined characters take from their originals. One of the delights of this type of fiction is the ability to ‘pop out’ sideways which I do to take you to explanation pages; although in digital fiction there are no pages, but rather interlinking ‘nodes’ or passages.
The Butterfly and the Tree Here is the concluding part of Where Scorpions Fear to Tread. Rejoin Anodos and Psyche as they discover the story of their parents and the underground network to save souls. Travel with them as they wrestle with their fears, and that to face their destiny they must learn to trust. This is a star-like 🌟 narrative – you’ll go out to a tip from where you may gain a new view, and then back in, all the while, a shooting star moving towards the one destination. Around an hour’s reading time. Much love, Bice ❤️🔥
