This story was pretty amazing; it really made me think differently about the afterlife. :D.
Very deep. Good job!

Hi, i have read you story for about 50 times now but there is still something i don't quite understand, what was your point in writing this story, what made you write it, is this really your view on the after. I hope you can respond to this and answer my quetions, also i think your story is great, i cry ever time i read it. Anyways keep up the good work!

wooah...htat was...really insiteful...and cool..i lyked it...bt wat happens to Elizabeth u think...or to Gabriel...how long has she been there?...anyway i luv ur stories..their awsum

You pretty much made me cry. To be very honest, I've always been terrified of Afterlife. Eternity just seemed too long and ongoing for me. But after reading your story, I feel refreshed and quite renewed. Thank you so very much.

This is amazing. I read this simply because it intrigued me slightly, but it just brought up so many ideas, and questions too. I'm actually tearing up here. I just have to thank you for writing this. It's...words can't describe it. Thank you.

This was amazing. Thanks!

i liked it but i still want to know how she died but i like how u keep the heaven part up to our imagenasion and i know i total spelled that wrong. i write the weirdest reviews

Amazing... you know as a non-christian I hear christians all the time preach about heaven and wonder if I would go to hell or if god would really be so concieted to turn people away because they chose to never look towards him, if we were all his children would appoint favorites like humans do...

I liked it, but the ending was interesting. I would think that she would be replaced eventually by another person who could see all of the people, like Saint Peter was. And how did Elizabeth die?

Review Marathon! (link in profile)

I liked this story. It's a new kind of thinking and you carried it out pretty well.

The only thing I would have liked more, is if you had written more about what Elizabeth thought. The whole story is pretty much about her letting people into the gate. I think that the story would have been even better if you had added some thoughts from her. Besides that, awesome story!

I 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.

wow, good stuff :)

A 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...

I 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)

:]

that was gorgeous.. i really loved this
definetly a fav for me now =]
