abuseI think if you had made this into a real book with more details, information and such, it would have become one of those books that become highly renowned with lots of awards. A book a kid may look at and think, How boring looking. But it's actually very deep and interesting. Very nice job.

abuseA well-written, thought-provoking piece. It's interesting different people's reactions to the Gatekeeper and the After. The Mac-Windows analogy for atheism was amusing, but effective. However, I (and I'm sure I'm not the only one) was wondering how Elizabeth died. Also, from what millenium is Gabriel? It makes me wonder how long Elizabeth has been there...

abuseI really enjoyed this piece and I completely adore the idea of it too.

Just one question though... How did Elizabeth die? (It's rather random, but I'm curious to know why she died so young)

:]

abuseThis is just amazing...It gave me a new perception of heaven and hell. I like how you showed the different aspects of humanity. I also like where Elizabeth rediscovers her humanity through Gabriel and ending it with Elizabeth entering the Gates. All in all this is just great work.


Keep writing!

abuseI thought it was AMAZING! And surprisingly Gabriel Elliott was annoying but I grew to really like him. It did make me think... a lot. I agree with some things said, like how the borders of countries are only in our minds. I thought I was the only one who thought that. Well, of course other people think like that but I've never heard that from anywhere but my brain.

Anyway, I really liked it. The writing style fit perfectly with the story. It's one of my favorites that you've written. Looking forward to more of your story.

And I know the ending of this was perfect. It really was, but I can't help but wonder what Gabriel did after Elizabeth left? Did he stay as the gatekeeper? He had such a good personality. He clashes with the perfect heaven everyone imagines. I'd really like to know what he does next. And do they ever meet again?

abuseI love this story, its a different way to look at heaven and hell. It made me think about religion and the role it plays in my life.

abuse...I'm not sure what I just read... was it a master piece? a childish incomprehension? a badly answered question? portrayal or more question?

I'm not sure... I spent a good ten minute reading that... and now I'm just not sure... the ending left me feeling rather happy for some reason...

This is what I derived from it though... something like,

the Universe is perfect but it isn't just. Mankind is imperfect but we're beautiful and fair...

abuseThis was very nice reading. I kept thinking, "With this set up, you really could do some fun things." You win points for having a good premise, and following through on keeping it interesting. Certain parts felt a bit rushed, and your section breaks are a bit distracting. There were one or two typos that caught my eye. This is the sort of thing that could almost be made into a television serial, and not be a bad one at that. Well done.

abuseFantastic. So Gabe was marked off as Hell, eh? Prolly a good thing he agreed to let Elizabeth go. If he took the Podium, he'd probably set a few folks straight REAL quick.
