I love how the choices all explore different aspects of the PC’s condition—embarrassment, pain, fatigue, social interaction, basic needs.
I’d definitely be interested in reading a longer work exploring this condition and its ramifications. I’m a sucker for stories about adjusting to extreme (and in many ways bizarre) circumstances. Of course, there’s a lot in here that rings true for those suffering from chronic physical or mental illness as well, which deepens the reader’s experience.
Great idea for a Petite Mort, too!
Así es como me siento a menudo entre el insomnio, el cansancio crónico, la barrera idiomática y cultural de vivir en un país extranjero, el desarraigo, la dificultad para entablar relaciones significativas, y el trasfondo apocalíptico al que nos enfrentamos día a día. Vas adaptándote al desastre, resignándote, dejando que la marea te coma un trozo más de vida, o dando un pequeño paso (hercúleo) que aún puede abrirte y conectarte con el mundo, por insignificante que pueda ser.
Es una metáfora poderosa y los detalles (los problemas prácticos que entraña morir cada día de formas bastante repugnantes) son imaginativos e interesantes.
Creo que hoy intentaré escribir algo o interrelacionarme con el personal local. Gracias , EJoyce por la sacudida.
¡Gracias por jugar Die Another Day! Me alegra que te hayas identificado con el juego.
The thinly fictionalized metaphors are often the scariest.
Thanks! (I know the metaphor here gets very thin in places, which is what I get for focusing on volume of words over having any time to edit, so I'm glad it still worked for you.)
