The DEEP DARK - A Children's Story

The DEEP DARK
A Children's Story -- kind of.

There is this big old house in the woods, and you get to explore it.

One Deep Dark night in November, back when I was in the third grade, my dad made up a story for my younger brother and I, about a Deep Dark house. This came about while my brother and I, sat in the back seat of the station wagon, waiting for my mother to come out of the mall. Oh, and just so you know, my dad is a diagnosed sociopath. :)

This is my rendition of the story my father has long since forgotten.

This is a fairly simple maze game. Once you see all the rooms, the last room becomes accessible and in it is a surprise.

Fair Warning!:

• While there is a map, nothing is marked on it. :)
• The room images are from all different angles so it's difficult to tell where you're going -- or where you've been.
• Click on the Box to get the final, final scene.

The game contains:
933 words, 28 menus, 50 images, and 14 screens.
 -- Despite the short (and repetitive) word-count, the game takes a 'while' to go through.

The END of the Raven ~ A Kinetic Poem

"The END of the Raven"
by Edgar Allan Poe's Cat
A Kinetic Poem!

This poem is one of many from Henry Beard's "Poetry for Cats". That the poem was a published work was something I learned after I had copied the poem from the Internet and proudly displayed it on my refrigerator -- for almost 20 years. (If you'd like to buy a copy of the book for yourself, a link to Amazon is provided in the "About" section of the game.)

This is my tribute to a poetic Genius, and Mr Poe too.
-- In other words, it's a Fan work.

It's a short poem so it should take you 10 minutes, tops, to go through it all. 

 

  

Historical note: Mr Poe did indeed have a cat named Cattarina!
