This is an example of a piece of writing in the descriptive "mode." An further example, at this link, shows how this description might serve as the starting point for writing in the narrative "mode." Another example, at this link, shows how, using Inform 7, the story might be presented as an expository "how to" essay, explaining, to a computer, how to present the narrative as an interactive story. A-221
A-221 is a fairly drab classroom, quiet and nearly
deserted at the moment, with twenty-four student desks and a like number of
computers, all turned off. It sports at least ten teacher-made signs about
grammar and literature and one long, commercial poster.
Most of the signs are plain-text efforts to introduce parts of speech or
literary concepts, such as plot and theme, in three-inch-high blue letters. The commercial poster isn’t much more colorful, tracing, in
great detail, the history of computer-based interactive fiction, up to 2003.
A
filing cabinet is the room's most prominent storage unit.
It is designed to store and organize all sorts of papers, but it could
hold lots of other things, too.
Right now, a little silver bar in the upper left corner of the cabinet is
pushed in, suggesting that the cabinet is locked.
