"The Web": A "Choose Your Own Adventure" Short Story
Written for Instagram (which seems appropriate, somehow)
This took me back to my childhood in the best possible way. Some of the first things I recall reading were choose your own adventure stories so having one slide across my desk was a delight. Being able to host it hear and share it with you all is even more of a delight.
I hope you enjoy it and hats off to
(you should definitely subscribe to his Substack) for the wonderful idea and outstanding execution.This deserves to be an internet sensation.
Enjoy,

I chose to publish the story on Instagram for a couple of reasons. For one, it’s very easy to flip through the “pages” of the story using a multi-image post, especially with the template I designed. (I also liked the constraint imposed by a maximum of ten pages.) In addition, I felt the medium of Instagram aligned nicely with the theme of the piece. For those of you who don’t have an Instagram account, you can still read the story on the platform if you click the image below. Enjoy :)
This is definitely one of those ideas where I'm going to write:
"I wish I would have thought of that"
