The Guide

The Guide is an emotional contemporary fiction centered around mental health. This story starts where the life of the narrator ends. Our narrator, unlike everyone else, finds themselves presented with a unique opportunity: Choose to pass over like others who have died or choose to stay and help the living who face similar hidden struggles. In a desperate effort to prevent fractured souls from following a similar fate, our narrator elects to stay behind and face unknown challenges before them. As such, it becomes a journey of self-discovery wherein we learn the value in helping another person in need, but we also experience the detrimental consequences of acting without compassion towards one another.
