Every so often,Watch Serve the People Online life serves up a reminder of why we don't just quit social media entirely. Today's reminder comes in the form of a Twitter game.
Twitter user Green Chyna put together an incredibly clever "choose your own adventure" story that casts you as Beyoncé's personal assistant. The goal? Survive the day without getting fired!

As you read through the thread, choices come up that branch the story in one direction or another. Most of the options end with your fictional assistant being shown the door. But there's a narrow line you can toe, decisions you can make that'll preserve your not-an-actual-job just a little while longer.
It starts off innocently enough.

I'll give you this one as a freebie: go with the health-conscious option.
The story goes on from there, presenting you with choices ranging from simple (do you Facetime with Rumi or Blue Ivy?) to tough (do you risk making Bey show up late or do you risk putting her in front of a paparazzi horde?).
It's not even over yet. Green Chyna started assembling this clever Twitter thread on Saturday night, and if you get far enough (as of Sunday morning) you'll reach an actual cliffhanger.

There are deep cut references to Beyoncé's past and present driving most of the this-or-that dilemmas that spring up as you survive each successive choice moment (or just rewind back from the bad ones).
I can't recall ever seeing a more clever twisting of Twitter's basic features, turning a threaded set of replies into what is essentially a video game. Whether you're a Beyoncé fan or just a lover of interactive fiction, this is a great way to spend your time on the internet.
