Forking Garden path I

I can beat myself over the head for not blogging sooner, but what good would that be? I feel like I barely have a grip on this story as it is ...

"The Garden of Forking Paths" felt like the story itself could change at any moment, and the ending was a surprise for me. It reminded me of The Gunslinger series by Stephen King because at one point the characters are unpredictable and don;t allow the reader to know what could happen next.
And I'll state that one thing I simply cannot abide is King going back over his books and making changes to them, then publishing them again. WTF?? To "better" them? No, no,no,no,no,no.
Could you imagine what would happen if every writer was allowed to do that?!

So I thought I would look at the further end of my Google search and instead found http://www.dysmedia.com/. This artist Douglas Cooper has his work online: writing, photography, lectures. If I had to make a site to pimp my work, it would be similar to his.
Oh, and this: http://www.donniedarkofilm.com.

Okay, back on Forking Gardens. I found this link:

and it allowed me to click on highlighted words, which took me to different pages and sections of text ... but that was about it. I got bored rereading the story.
Hmph.
Will look some more ...
