To apply for asylum, Refugee 214 must tell his story. With him in the room are a man from his new country, and the shadows of four loved ones who did not survive the journey. 214 reveals how he and his younger sister fled their homes and set off toward the border; how they met and suffered with friends, and lost them; and how the plight of the refugee is an experience that erases differences between individuals, even as it threatens to erase the individuals themselves. The only one left to tell the tale, 214 swallows his fears and relates what he and the shadows saw and did, in the hope that his life and the lives of the others won't have more

Jul 29, 2021This is a very emotional story about a refugee and some of the dangers and unfairness of the systems we have in place. To see it in a fantasy setting calls out some of our practices as ludicrous. This story was not written about the United States, but I definitely saw some of the same issues with our immigration system. The Low Country and its bandits could easily be drug cartels in Mexico, or terror cells in the Middle East. The United States and many other countries require Immigration Interviews just like what Older Brother went through where he was forced to relive the trauma of his escape, and choose between the truth or a lie that might make his immigration case stronger. There are definitely things about immigration systems across the world that should be re-examined. Read Full Review
