She has every right to demand answers – albeit in the afterlife – I based the story on the Chernobyl reactor explosion. Thanks!

You know this is quasi-brilliant. It’s like an updated bible of sorts. Not so much religious as it is of the human conditioning of limitations. Truly an outstanding piece of writing.

This piece has become liturgically and surgically well-constructed.
I don’t believe in angels, but they do exist. Thank you all. -

I loved how quirky this is. I kept wondering where the next passage would go.
And it does have a comic newborn superhero feel to it with all the attempts at flying.
Truly enjoyed-

Age old dilemma, for sure. I’ve asked this myself of all sorts of scholarly or “intelligent” people.
I steer clear of knocking the powers of a god-being, because some do indeed have faith in such. More power to them.
But, life has made me quite cynical. Therefore, I choose to believe in power of mankind as the true source of hopeful change.
Prayer is a fine form of meditation. Solutions come during that pause of…-

I like this, and coming from someone who grew up in a conservative faith, as I got older I began to see things differently. Folks change the words to fit the narrative so that they can claim they are backed by divine power. It’s a scary thing.
Great work.-

Creepy. It seems her ghost has returned not fully intact. Perhaps she’s roaming the earth looking for answers.
Nice one, Harriet.
