(I had to swap my story over and continue from here. Protagonist is just about to be "cleared for field work"!)


Pic rel was some inspiration for the narrator, post-transformation that is. I liked the idea of her being sort of 'updated' for the consensus on beauty standards in the 21st century, I have a lot of reference photos/art elsewhere.

Your story sounds extremely interesting, and funnily enough the first thing that pops into my mind is that Dostoevsky story "The Grand Inquisitor". It touches on similar themes with a second coming of Jesus and the world's (and especially the Church's) reaction.

I really like the twist you mention there as well! The world is so polarized and politically/ideologically charged right now that those themes make sense.
