The Idea

I write a story. It's 437 words long.

Every day, I change one word.

I can only change one word a day.
Every word must change.
Each word can only change once.

At some point in the 437 days, my original story will meet its doom. But at what point? And at what point is the new story really born?

This is an Experiment

Here's what I want to find out:

1. Can it be done? Can I transform one 437-word story into a new 437-word story, changing only one word, one day at a time?

2. Can I make the story stay coherent as it evolves?

3. How many stories do I actually end up with after 437 days? There's the original story and the final story, but are how many distinct stories will pop up in between?
