Category Archives: Choose Your Own Adventure

Welcome to my Choose Your Own Adventure story! This project was created to explore elements of collective authorship and multimodal means of displaying information. I came up with the idea for this story by incorporating unwitting participation and using the above picture to prompt the plot. To read the story, simply click the hyperlink ofContinue reading “Introduction”

The sunset is one of the prettiest you have ever seen. The soft orange, yellow, and faint red blend together sweetly, sending a wave of calm over you as you admire it. This is one of the reasons you love biking around town in the evening, to enjoy the sunset. Out of all the places you’ve lived, you’ve neverContinue reading “A Sinister Sunset”

Your entire body screams at you to turn around and go home, but instead you get back on your bike and pedal fast, following the skeleton. The rocky desert area transforms into a sea of wood. Besides your breathing and the creaking of your bike, the only sounds are the faint chirpings of birds and crickets.  YouContinue reading “Follow the Skeleton”

You choose left and continue down that path. You are still surrounded by trees on all sides, but the road starts curving left. You follow it, curious as to what you will find. You haven’t heard of any roads in this area before, not even from your friend Wanda who is always going on hikes and exploringContinue reading “The Left Path”

You go down the path on the right, following the faint line in the dirt left by what you assume was the skeleton. You bike for about fifteen minutes without any sign of intelligent life. The line in the dirt does look more prominent, though, and you are almost sure this is the path the skeleton followed.  You pedal for anotherContinue reading “The Right Path”

You immediately turn around and start the trek home. You don’t need to follow any strange, creepy, nightmarish skeletons today, no thank you. You want to go home, take shower, read a book, and sleep off the day’s troubles.  So you do exactly that. You make it home without any problems, put your bicycle in yourContinue reading “Go Home”

Despite your insistence that every skeleton you’ve seen tonight has only been a figment of your imagination, it still takes two sleeping pills for you to finally get some shut eye. Even then, your sleep is haunted by skeletons chasing you endlessly.  When you wake up in the middle of the night and see that itContinue reading “Try to Sleep”

You decide to call your friend Chelsea, an actress/waitress from Pizza Hut who dresses in nothing but black. She happily agrees to let you stay at her house for the night, so you pack a bag and head over.  Chelsea greets you cheerfully when you arrive, shows you to a guest room, and prepares aContinue reading “Stay With a Friend”

I had a lot of fun working on this Collaborative Composition project. As a writer, I jumped at the chance to submit something more creative for this assignment rather than a simple analysis of work we had already produced, such as the discussion board. When I finalized my idea to write a Choose Your Own AdventureContinue reading “Reflection”

You’ve had enough of a horror movie for tonight and feel no urge to investigate the strange sound upstairs. You go into the guest room and close and lock the door behind you. Just as you sit down to get ready for bed, your phone rings.  Wondering who might be calling, you pick it up. The numberContinue reading “Don’t Investigate”
