Synopsis

Left or right? Up or down? Backward or forward?  Life is a branching road, laden with mysteries and qualms. New opportunities arise with every step we take, and with opportunities come decisions. As Sartre once said, "We are condemned to be free." Pitted against the infinities of choice, we must choose a single path -- a single life -- and reject all others. Elijah Frost had long been averse to change: every day consisted of the same activities, diligently repeated without question. He'd wake up each morning, go to class, return home, and sleep. His classmates thought he was just shy, while his parents labeled him emotionless. And, for the most part, they were both right -- only one emotion pervaded Elijah's mind, and it was extreme boredom. His childhood dream was to explore the world, but his fear of change slowly overcame his desire for adventure. Unable to take the first step, he waited and waited, until finally, his chance arrived. Now, all that keeps Elijah from his dream journey is a couple of decisions: some small, some big, but all exciting and new. Join Elijah on his adventure, participating in every choice he makes! You'll not only be able to vote on which path he takes, but also suggest different ones. There is no master plan for this story -- it's future will change with every poll. Tag along and find out where Elijah ends up! Genres and tags are subject to change as the story progresses. This is the first story I've ever written, so bear with me...
