The Abrupt Goodbye

The Abrupt Goodbye is an interesting experiment by Andy Schatz of Pocketwatch Games, made using a combination of simple SQL and PHP coding. Participants can choose to play either side of a conversation, with new responses added every minute by other players.

A discussion thread can be found in the Indiegamer forums.

A non-linear story compiled of paragraphs written by many people.

The website itself offers a number of experiments in surrealist writing/cut-up technique.
