Joaquin
He keeps watch so no one else has to.
Before you begin
How this works
This is a short preview of the story, about ten minutes long. You read it through the eyes of one child.
One child.
You will read as Joaquin, Bridget, or Scarlet. The story stays close to that child and goes where they go. To read it as another, begin again.
Choices are final.
Now and then the story asks what the child does. Pick one and the page turns. It does not turn back.
Nothing earlier.
You can go back and reread the pages since your last choice. You cannot go back past it.
One save.
The story keeps your place as you read, in this browser on this device. Come back and choose Continue. If your browser will not let it save, the page will tell you.
No clock, no score.
Nothing is timed. Nothing is counted on the screen. Read as slowly as you like.
The Family
Whose eyes?
Three children, one car, one road. You will see it through one pair of eyes.
Bridget
Hood up, one earbud in, and a good deal she is not saying.
Scarlet
She fills the silence because somebody must.
One window is still lit.
You have seen the road through one child's eyes.
The other two saw it differently.
The rest of the story is longer than a preview.
