Hyperfiction... (on this particular text)

Instructions:

The following is a series of fragments in poetic prose inspired by fairy tale characters, such as the princess, the prince and the witch. They were originally written in a linear format and later reconnected in a non-linear way, making it possible to choose the moment in which you want the story to begin. 

You can pick whatever numbered fragment you like to start reading and from there jump from one to another following the hyperlinked sentences or words. The connections between the text’s fragments are placed according to abstract notions or lines of tought, meaning that if you click on, say, “no more silky gowns”, then you will be taken to a fragment in which the concept of "silky gown" is present as well. You will finish reading a particular version of the story the moment you reach the fragment in which you started out. 

Click on the arrow at the side of the month (left hand, "April"), and the list of fragments will be shown.

Or you can start from wherever you want:

1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10  11  12  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10  11  12  13

Now go on, and have fun.
