Hyperstory. Sounds pretentious, I know. Or maybe like something Captain Picard might have enjoyed in his downtime from facepalming the antics on the Enterprise.

What it actually is: a short story played out through hyperlinks. Each passage, which vary from a few lines to several pages, will have one or more links; choose a link and follow it to advance the story. 

Page turns will only work within a single passage; if you hit blank pages, turn back and select a link.

This hyperstory is also available on the web at http://lyleskains.com/Twine/The_Futographer.html.
