Not only do others react to our choices, but we react to our own choices as well.\n\nThe End.
Do you want to go [[Left|Woods]] or [[Right|City]]?
Aaaaah, interesting choice.\n\nDid you know that 95% of people that clicked the same link you just did are sexual predators?\n\nThe more you know.\n\nAnyhow, it's about time we make our next stop, the hall of emotion!\n\nDemonstration [[AHOY!|Emotion]]\n\n(you pervert)
Hello, and welcome to the demonstration of\n\nLOST IN THE WOODS,\n FOUND IN THE CITY\n\nby Joshua Timlen\n\nThis is a demonstration of the modern remix of William Blake's poems Little Boy Lost and Little Boy Found from his Songs of Innocence collection in an interactive format.\n\nDue to the format of LOST IN THE WOODS, FOUND IN THE CITY, I have taken it upon myself to include two versions of this demonstration, one including spoilers, and one unspoiled.\n\nPlease democratically choose one NOW.\n\nFor the spoiler-free version click [[here|Unspoiled]].\n\nFor the spoilerific version click [[here|Spoiled]].\n\n[[Skip.|Beginning]]
Sunbeams glance down upon you.\n\nA new day is here.\n\nWhat do you do?\n\nDo you [[rest|End]], or [[continue|Choice1]]
Ah, memory.\n\nMemory of the good old times.\n\nLike when I introduced this demonstration to you.\n\nThe introduction is always a part I enjoy.\n\nWatching the beaming faces of people with no expections.\n\nThe [[innocence|Innocence]] literally polluting the room.
You know what?\n\nInstead of relying on this Josh person, I think I'll make my own version of LOST IN THE WOODS, FOUND IN THE CITY.\n\nI can do it way better than that pretentious prick can.\n\nIt'll be great.\n\nFilled with REAL choices and REAL emotion, and riddled with references and nods to William Blake's original source material.\n\nI can do this.\n\nI don't need him.\n\nI'm more than capable!\n\nAlright, I'll do it right here, right on the spot.\n\nJust gotta make a start button.\n\n[[START|Beginning]]\n\nThere it is! Go ahead, don't be shy, press it!
Something cold grips your hand.\n\nYou dart your eyes all over to try and see who or what just grabbed you, but you are unable to see whatever entity just grabbed your hand.\n\nThe whispers of life around you continue, unbothered and unknowing of your presence and predicament.\n\nYou're on your own.\n\n[[Resist.|Push]] \n\n[[Give in.|Push]]
He snarls at you and then pulls you into shadow.\n\nHis face is gone, but it still haunts your memory.\n\nHe starts running further into the shadows, dragging you along.\n\nDo you go [[willingly|Question1]] or [[apprehensively|Question1]]?
The grip loosens.\n\nNo more running.\n\nOnly a pitch-black darkness.\n\n"You can trust me," he says.\n\nDo you believe him?\n\n[[Yes|Story]]\n\n[[No|Story]]
Here we are.\n\nThe choice room.\n\nHere we can say that it means both choice in the sense of it being the act of choosing as well as being the best part, since where would LOST IN THE WOODS, FOUND IN THE CITY be without choice? \n\nIt'd be a William Blake poem that's what, and no one wants that.\n\nToo many little boys crying about their fathers and priests coercing them into practicing religion.\n\nToo much habberdashery for me, all the tygers burning and whatnot.\n\nANYWAYS, to show off how even YOU can make a CHOICE!\n\nYou can pick between [[THIS|Choice2]],\n\n[[THIS|Choice2]] here,\n\nOr even [[THIS|Choice2]].\n\nGo on, pick one.\n\nHere, I'll even give you another [[CHOICE|Choice2]]
Pick one.\n\n[[Life.|Home]] \n\n[[Something else.|Home]]
Do you like people?\n\n[[Yes|Outside]]\n\n[[No|Outside]]
Oh how knowledge has ruined it all. \n\nNow I'm betting none of you are even REMOTELY interested in this project anymore, are you?\n\nNo need to speak, I know, I know.\n\nIt's all ruined.\n\nThis demonstration really falls apart once it is [[experienced|Experience]].

That cold grip takes hold of you again.\n\nYou can't stop it.\n\nThe grip brings you back up to your feet.\n\nSome rays of sun start peeking at you and your predicament.\n\nThe grip now has a face.\n\nIs it [[familiar|Run]], or [[mysterious|Run]]?
MELTING ICE CREAM\n\nPUPPY DOG EYES\n\nA SPRANGLED OLD TREE\n\nOBAMA\n\nENNUI\n\nFERGALICIOUS\n\nThese are none of the many ways we will be conveying loss in LOST IN THE WOODS, FOUND IN THE CITY, but I bet it still worked.\n\nNow to continue this demonstration, let's take a look at how some of the interaction in LOST IN THE WOODS, FOUND IN THE CITY is executed.\n\nPlease continue down the hall of the demonstration facility and make a left [[HERE|Interaction]].
GET OFF YOUR SEAT\n\nAND ON YOUR FEET\n\nIT'S TIME TO INTERACT\n\nDANCEOFF\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKlxjbhB9HE\n\n[[Next|Apology]].
I would like to apologize for the previous section of the demonstration.\n\nThat was completely out of line of me to expect any of you to be able to properly dance.\n\nInstead of that being an example of the kind of interaction that will be in LOST IN THE WOODS, FOUND IN THE CITY, it seems it has now become a show of how the piece can embarass anyone that experiences it.\n\nWell, time to move onto the wonderful world of [[QUESTIONS|Questions]].
"I'll let you go now."\n\n"There are some things you need to hear, away from those who'd rather you not."\n\n[["Thank you."|Question3]]\n\n[["..."|Question3]]

Oh what a terrible experience.\n\nBeing deluded into choices that weren't even choices!\n\nHow confusing and strange it must have all been.\n\nBeing thrown this way and that.\n\nNo end in sight.\n\nWith such a stupid premise for the whole demonstration.\n\nI doubt the [[final product|Final]] is any better.\n\n

Now for questions.\n\nFrankly at this point I'm becoming really discouraged by all of this junk.\n\nReally?\n\nCarlton, Fergalicious, and buttons that tell you you're a sexual predator are ALL this demonstration has to offer?\n\nI can't believe I signed up for this.\n\nI guess I really just have to blame Joshua Timlen.\n\nHe made it so every one of those choices called you a sexual predator.\n\nIf I didn't call you a pervert I was going to get a pay cut.\n\nI guess we still have some good [[memories|Memory]] though.
