It was hot today. Really hot. Sweat ran through me like words through books, pouring out and suddenly sticky, my clothes like characters sticking with me. I woke up at 6am, feeling refreshed but dreamy, and so I drifted back to sleep waking again at 8am and just barely getting to work on time.

Hi fellow Tumblrs, Check out my little project.
Have you ever heard of a self-generating story machine? How about a call-in radio show that’s also a choose your own adventure? If not, it’s probably because it doesn’t yet exist.
