The End of the Line
On a longhaul train journey to the end of the world, you encounter a stranger with many stories to tell. These are tales of lovers and runaways and an ever-changing world. You can suggest how each story should end, and you will find out what lies at the end of the line...
An old idea from 2018 combined with a dream from 2021 and reimagined for ShuffleComp 2023 as an interactive novella. Each chapter takes inspiration from a song in the random selection I received (plus two extras of my own choosing):
- "Under My Skin" // Jukebox the Ghost
- "Send Me the Moon" // Sara Bereilles
- "Master of the Wind" // Manowar
- "Yeah! Oh, Yeah!" // The Magnetic Fields
- "The Whole of the Moon" // The Waterboys
- "The Dreaming Moon" // The Magnetic Fields
- "Habibi" // Tamino
- "Dragostea Din Tei" // O-Zone
- "The End of the World" // Skeeter Davis
- "Feeling Good" // Nina Simone
Happy new year!

This was a really great read, with great writing and stories. I loved the Master of the Wind story!
This is great, I'm looking forward to the update with the ending :)
I really enjoy your writing - just like I enjoyed your wry "(don't) save me."
What a neat concept for a interactive novel (even if I did slam stay in seat with headphones just to see). Wishing you good luck with the writing for the expansion!
thank you ^_^ I actually forgot to add that joke ending, I'll have to do it in the update...
