TITLE: Clouds Casting Shadows

ABSTRACT:

Our thoughts and memories are all that we have, though both are more transitory and fickle than we'd care to admit. One thought will lead us to another, then a memory is recalled, an image, a place, a song, another thought, and so on ad infinitum. "Clouds Casting Shadows" follows the inner monologue of a man in his late 30's as he gazes at a valley below him. His journey through life has brought him through a tumultuous relationship with another man that spanned over a decade, an inspirational sister who speaks her wisdom from the beyond, a failed writing career and various locations around America. Your decisions will shape the tangents his thoughts take and what will be revealed and recalled. Is there a grander meaning to our lives or is it merely all the clouds of memory that shift strange into passing shadows?

HELPFUL HINTS:

- As of right now I suggest clicking "draught" when given the option instead of "nonsense." The "draught" tangent has plenty more to play with and discover at the moment. Feel free to click anything, but there are several dead ends that still exist as I try to sort out the various story lines. 

- You may notice that some pages are numbered. Friends of mine who have tested the site have played around with the numbers and discovered unlinked pages that exist. I don't suggest doing this, as there is no concrete ordering of the pages and most numbers are there for me to keep track of what page was written when. If you'd like to put in numbers and investigate what comes up you are more than welcome to, but none of them will lead you anywhere and may distract from the story you are following while you click. 

- There are random clues thrown around images and text throughout the story, I won't say where or what, but certain things you read may come back again and shape a decision that you make.
