Wayfarers, by Gina Isabel Rodriguez

Description: When her tank blew up on the battlefield, Zero Alvarez should have died. Instead, she wakes up in a virtual landscape, with the hope that she will get a new body if she can only finish this video game. 

Author Statement: I am a long-time fan of Chrono Cross, Zelda, and the Final Fantasy games. I am also a fiction writer and essayist fascinated by the passage of time. This is my first crack at interactive fiction. My brother created the theme music. I was also inspired by Joan Manuel Serrat's 1969 hit "Cantares."
