Almost everything has an element of “place”, whether we refer to location (long and lat, or within a country or state, place in the universe, “at home”, etc.), social place, place in time.

For instance: I was here, writing this, and you are there, reading it. I am out, devouring. I am at the library. I am singing. I am writing what you will read tomorrow. Without different spatial concepts there would be none of this.

As you can see, the questions raised by the word “place” are manifold. Which brings us to your assignment: within a large interlinked hypertextual narrative using multiple characters, uncover the real meaning of place - of being a place in time with others, of experiencing sound and feeling. Show your work. Avoid declarative and objective concepts, focusing instead on how place is interpreted and communicated both internally, to the perceptive agent (or individual) and externally, between parties.
