Review
As a work of fiction, Electric word, "life" has been carefully constructed. The writing is thoughtful and polished. The reader is free to explore the party environment and learn more about the narrator's life, but facts are also revealed in a deliberate sequence to tell a complete story.
In his author's note, Nathan states "I like games with meaningful choices and branching paths, but this is what I wrote."
There is one instance of timed text that I understand from an artistic perspective, but as a reader it looked like a broken passage to me — the "back" arrow, displayed prominently throughout the story, was the first thing that caught my attention before the rest of the text materialized on the screen.
This is a well-written story about five friends who won't recognize the importance of their Halloween encounter until it's over.
