How it begins
"Sophie actually enjoyed the festival every year. She enjoyed the lights, the songs, and the crispness of the air. It was only the crowds that made her uneasy and drove her into the solitude she had learned to appreciate."
Notable features
"Pale Blue Light" features multiple protagonists, and switches tense and person more than once. It also uses three methods of interaction at different points: a traditional IF command line, keyword-driven play as in Andrew Plotkin's The Space Under the Window, and input which is directly inserted into the text.
