Structure

“8 minutes” is a fiction hypertext written in 1996 for Enterzone. It is structured in a simple way and it is very easy to read. The author does not include any photography in the hypertext and it has 14 pages with text where each one has a different number of paragraphs. The decoration is really naïve, only black letters on a violet bottom, and a white symbol of infinite at the foot of each page. This symbol could be as well, a number 8 just lying down. The time that a reader needs to read the hypertext is exactly 8 minutes, as same as, the name of hypertext. The page changes to another one automatically, until arrives to the last one; the ending of hypertext. However, clicking the symbol of infinite you can pass to the next page faster. Definitely, the author shows in the hypertext many feminine features, doing probably, a hypertext dedicated to women. Martha Conway includes similar features about the structure in hers others hypertexts as; Dust,  Everything after that  or  Girl Birth Water Death. In all of them, we can found a simple structure easy to read.
