✷ P R O M P T ✷

It's New Year's Eve and your character ends up having the most memorable start to their year.It is time to formalize those resolutions that come once a year... This year, though, too many come to mind, and it wouldn't be reasonable to take all of them. Only a few can be chosen, or risk that none will be realized.
Of those few, however, the result is not what was to be expected...

Note: The AlternativeStoryTelling profile is looking for interactive stories, where you can chose a path to different ending; scripts and storyboards; multimédia based stories, using a variety of images, sounds, animations and other support; illustrated stories, being cartoons, manga style, photo novella, or more classical illustratIons accompanying your text; any way to deliver your story in a different ways than just words..."
