Pinzas de metal

In English: "'Pinzas de metal' was designed with Flash by Didier Delmas and written by Tina Escaja in 2003. It is an interactive hypertext novel which explores the daily life of young people, the places where they go and the objects that join them and take them appart in time and space. Their curiosity for travel, love, sex and drugs will take them to sublime states in which they will look for their own self and they will try to fill their feeling of emptiness with the presence of "the other". The reader must use a magnifying glass to select a character, a place and an object and discover different stories within the same one. The multilinearity of the story provides the reader a feeling of intrigue and bewilderment."--Maya Zalbidea Paniagua, ELMCIP.net
