Im Single Since You Left

By Thato Matabane

Sometimes when writing Interactive Fiction, that allows the reader to branch between male and female perspectives. I often think of the choices as a parallel universe, like.... How would they/people around them act based on their sex? And then sometimes I try to blend the worlds and make it seem as if everything or both perspectives are happening at the same time, while also trying to create an RPG game-like interface. I don't know if I managed to convey that properly here but.....

Im Single Since You Left is a short interactive fiction, where you assume the POV (Point-of-View) of a writer, who is struggling financially while also coming to terms that their first love is meant for someone else and not them.

You get to make choices that will affect dialogue/scenes, as well as the ending.

A short playlist titled after the name of the book, should also be available on Youtube and Spotify. Hopefully. (-_-)

The playlist is an attempt to try and capture the feel as well as the theme of the book. Truth be told, I also had a few of the songs on repeat, while writing/typing out this story. So I don't know, I feel like they should at least be mentioned a bit (Breaks out to sing Jessy Blakemore's chorus).

Thank you, for reading.

I do hope, you enjoy.
