Welcome to Kayla’s Journey, an experiment in interactive fiction that ran at ourMidland.com, the online home of the Midland (MI) Daily News. It is republished here with permission.

    The idea was to start a story, then let readers determine the direction. They didn’t always choose my favorite direction, such as in the beginning when they sent it down the path of a romance, something I never intended to write.

    There are 19 chapters in all. If you’re looking at the whole topic at once, to avoid spoilers, scroll to chapter 1 at the bottom and work your way up. Better yet, click to the first chapter and then use the links at the top of each page.

    And why repost this at all? One, because it was an interesting project. And B, because I just might tackle one again.
