About the story:
The Purple House is a flash fiction story that emerged as is, after spending some time thinking and experimenting with the second singular person. I wanted to create a second-person-point-and-click video game experience, take you by the hand and show you the world through the main character's eyes, but not quite. It is a story made up of a series of impressionistic images, a snapshot of an anonymous girl's life, simultaneously watching herself from an older perspective, and existing in the very moment of the narrative. After re-reading and revising the draft, I now find new associations, so the story can be read in multiple ways, and I'm curious to see the impressions it leaves on readers.
