BRIDGE

by Heather Choate, Joaquim

It’s cruel enough to be trapped in Midnight World, the dark and uncertain water world for the souls of the dead. It’s torture to have to piece together the memory of your mortal life from “bridges”— moments when the dead re-experience bits of their mortal life and regain those memories. For REIN, every opportunity to bridge is treasurable since they could provide valuable information about where ERINESE, the love of his mortal life, might have gone or what she might have done after he died. When an opportunity to bridge presents itself, Rein takes it at a high cost.

Now aimless and without supplies in the abysmal darkness of Midnight World, Rein persists in his search
to find Erinese in spite of being hunted by “Takers”— luminous beings who take souls from Midnight
World, ending the last and only existence they know.

She chases chickens, declares war on the weeds in her garden and enjoys quietly people-watching. Most of her time is spent daydreaming of worlds and people that don’t actually exist, but reflect the beauty and complicity of humanity. Writing is her escape from diaper changes and runny noses but motherhood is the greatest journey and joy of her life.
