Congratulations! Such a beautiful story.
The unique format for reading combines luck and choice to navigate; both things that someone trying to quit drinking will need. This story is just so unique and an incredible read. Highly recommend.
Please read The Drinking Game. Not because my interactive, autofictional #alcoholism story won the Subnivean Fiction Award. Because it’s probably unlike anything you’ve read before (it’s half story, half game) and might madden & enlighten you. Go on. Just one drink

If you're feeling up to some satirical scifi... May I introduce you to Manny and Gina?
His Goose Is Cooked
Gina's got a man problem—her husband's intestinal parasite turns out to be an endangered species, which is illegal to kill. Maybe things will change if the new Supreme Court nominee is confirmed in time.
