My latest nonlinear story is about four people early one morning.

A father and his daughter make up a story together about a dragon and a goose. The father remembers a trip he has just made to London, to see an exhibition of Chinese art. Upstairs, the mother fantasises about men finding her attractive, but simultaneously worries that she may be seriously ill. The mother and the little girl go outside to catch the bus to school. An old professor who lives by the bus stop is remembering a curious incident from between the wars, but interrupts his reminiscences long enough to look out of his window and notice the mother and daughter waiting for the bus.

Nothing important happens. The four sections of the story can be read in any order.

Sounds pretty cool, I once thought of doing a book short stories set in one place & could be read in any order, I will check it out!

Edward,

I like that form is so important to narrative in this piece, how the timespace structures are infinite and also relative to the reader who chooses to enter, leave, interact or even follow his own narrative (for example, I have yet to complete reading all pieces -- but that doesn't make this reading incomplete, just my own). The way we view time and space presently (ie relativity and quantum mechanics) are reflected in this hypernarrarive -- time that folds into itself or disappears (a la Hawkings blackholes).

Thanks for this!

Many thanks for the encouraging responses! They are very much appreciated.
