A Long Drink

by Spankminister (as Owen Parks) profile

About the Story

The first time I'd met Val was the day before yesterday, on my way out of the hospital. I'd been in a numb stupor for hours. There's no good way to take that kind of news. She'd asked me out for a drink. I remember thinking there was something Old Hollywood glam about her, like Veronica Lake or Lauren Bacall. I figured she was trouble, but I had nothing to lose, and she looked like my kind of trouble. Turns out I didn't know the half of it.

Daybreak was just a few hours away. I stared at the crumpled remains of my car, and beyond to the frozen lake below. I wondered if I'd ever see her again.

Emily Short's Interactive Storytelling
I get the feeling that the author has big ambitions for this piece, but that they were just too big and complex to pull off in the available time.

These Heterogenous Tasks
This feels as though the author bit off rather more than they could chew: there are a lot of NPCs and rooms, the plot goes through multiple stages, and as a result a great deal of things feel neglected.
