This story is really 2019, even though it appears to have been written long before that time. So it was really ahead of it's time when it was written. But it really is spot on.
In the story, you make selections that put you in the place of a modern teen (of either gender) and then forces you to make some serious life choices. The story then guides you through very realistic consequences of those life choices. I highly recommend this story, especially for anyone currently considering serious life choices.
This is a cute short story that will really bring back memories for you if you've ever been to a carnival. And I'm not talking about the fancy indoor carnivals, I mean those carnivals that pop up overnight in the old abandoned parking lots that have grass growing up through the cracks.
The story will take you through a number of different aspects of that fun-time carnival, depending on the choices you make. Clearly, the author has experience at these carnivals, because the details included feel quite accurate to me. And if you don't have experience with those carnivals, you should go ahead and read this one to get a good feeling of how things really work behind the scenes at a typical carnival.
