Absurd Hero Interactive Diction

This take on interactive fiction uses the familiar theme of Choose Your Own Adventure(tm?) style novels. However, Absurd Hero Interactive Diction are simply cards that determine your fate through limiting possibilities much the same as Meursault passively allowed others to determine his actions.

Your AHID adventure begins when you draw the first card from the pack that resembles a carton of cigarettes. The first options are 1. Kill yourself. 2. Do nothing. Once this most important of decisions has been made the adventure has either begun or ended. If it has ended hopefully there is a God and afterlife or everything heretofore had been meaningless including your death, for you there is no need for a next card, goodbye. If it hasn't ended, the next card reads "congratulations, have another cigarette, your adventure to become an absurd hero has begun".

As the game progresses and the carton is emptied of its contents the absurd adventurer can become one of many character classes including the don Juan, the adventurer, the revolutionary and the explorer. Although these intended character types seem attractive the absurd hero must tread with caution or become the dreaded sociopath, mental patient, criminal, or worse!
