RE: The Dream of Life (Short Story) - Finish the Story Contest Week 39
Your ending of the story seemed to me like a shamanic voyage interspersed with a salvific angel apparition, and knowing the strenght of the Christian Faith in Armenia, I find very appropriate for Vartan to act like an angel-like being.
Thank you for your interesting comment on the story @marcoriccardi and I apologize for my late response. I've ended up getting some freelance writing work outside of steem which is actually paying the rent, so I have been super busy and might not be putting as much content up on steem over the next few months.
Your analysis is insightful mate as I have been very much interested in shamanism and other magical tribal traditions from my teenage years. Also, I have practiced lucid dreaming and this story just seemed to grow out of those experiences. As you noticed, the christian symbology in this story was a nod to the setting.
