About the Story

An interactive story about a troublemaking highschool kid who gets into an accident and then finds him/herself reborn into the world as a spirit.

To pay for your bad deeds during life, you must work with the Gatekeeper to help the sentient beings of the world who are in trouble. Since you're a spirit, you can do this by entering the mind and body of the living being and tapping into their thoughts and feelings.

By proving your newfound love and respect for life, the Gatekeeper may have the power to help you return home, to your family and your real life!

A Few Things, May 14, 2014*

There were a few things that threw me off from enjoying this, but my main concern was the use of "retarded." I understand that this could be written off as contemporary character slang, but I felt like its current usage is jarring and in rather poor taste. There would be many other words that could have the same effect without carrying the heavy negative and rather triggering connotations associated.

Aside from that, the only other thing that was slightly off-putting was the insertion of a enraged dragon character who seems to be so easily swayed from their intense negative disposition towards an oppressive race that is actively destroying dragons and the planet's resources by a member of that same race. Especially since this exact idea is used to justify post-colonialism/imperialistic ideologies, it just doesn't seem rather convincing.

But the concept itself is a very powerful one when executed well, and the work here itself was well written. It would be great to bounce these stories off of other people and get their opinions on subject matter and different ways to explore concepts like this!
