1. Disappearing Rain

   Deena Larsen's Disappearing Rain is one of the major works of web-based digital narrative, written in 2000. It is studied in various universities worldwide and has been critically reviewed by scholars in the field of digital fiction. In essence, the plot revolves around the disappearance of Anna and her family’s attempts to piece together what has happened to her: "The only trace left of Anna, a freshman at the University of California, Berkeley, is an open internet connection in the computer in her neatly furnished dorm room." The detective story unwinds, one link at a time, but even as readers explore Anna's disappearance, Larsen also orchestrates our own disappearance in the virtual reality of the Internet.

2. Pentagonal: Incluidos tú y yo

   Pentagonal: incluidos tú y yo by Carlos Labbé is a hypertextual short story that starts with newspaper news in which some words are liks to other fragments of the text. With the exception of the first screeen the rest of the interface is text with links. It combines quotations, science (astronomy) and the story with short fragments quite disorganized. It is difficult for the reader to build the structure of the narrative and he/she can lose interest after certain jumps.
