Phil Collins said you can’t hurry love; same with Story Worlds. This is Day 5 of ournewhaven.org, 46 stories and counting, with narrative, cast, and plot open for everyone to shape. With so much already told and a lifetime still to unfold, we spend Day 5 re-framing around the bigger picture dubbed 1 New Haven Promise, 24 Ways to Transformation.
Day 4 of 5, Stories 33-38 of 46 (and counting), for our latest Story World
Our first 3 days of serial stories gave the stage to the narrative’s leading characters: students, parents, teachers. Day 4 segues the narrative into the rest of the community, the supporting cast without whom a happy ending is impossible.
Abhorrent. That’s how this story kicks off, with a horrid retelling of a choice no father should ever have to make. And how in New Haven, if we each do our part, we can truthfully say: Never again.
Note the Story World juxtaposition of before and after separated by one visionary program and a community’s response to it. That’s what we mean when we say stories that move us to action. One of 46 stories (and counting) marking our 5-day rollout for ournewhaven.org, this one debuted on Day 3.
Trainman is one of our favorites from 46 stories (and counting) currently unfolding in ournewhaven.org, a live Story World about promises in New Haven, CT.
Trainman debuted along with 3 other short stories on Day 2 of our 5-day rollout that started with the unveiling of New Haven Promise. How will this story end? That’s the point of Story Worlds - we are all authors and characters with the ability to shape how the story goes.
