253

253 is an online novel that allows the reader to choose how they move through the story. The reader can move from character to character and car to car and ultimately come to the same end for all of the... the accident that the cars are barreling towards, but even when the reader reaches the accident they can still move back through through the other characters. It is kind of like a never end story, because it can work in a loop that the reader is welcome to venture through until they have read all of them. The narrations of the characters and sequence of events is written in 253 words and they encompass the outside appearance of the character and what the character is doing and what they are thinking.
This style of writing is kind of like choose your own adventure story, but instead of having to flip through several pages to get to your chosen path you can just click a link and get there faster. It also allows for more options than there would be with the limitation of a physical book. This is opening up new options for choose your own adventure novel. It is allowing the reader to move faster through the text as well as have a vaster amount of choices to choose from.
