Short story.. Sad that Chuck Krantz died at such a young age (39). The story is done is 3 parts. The world ending as Chuck dies. Then middle age as he is lured into dancing by the beat of a drummer. Finally Chuck's childhood with the mysterious cupola (attic) in his grandparents' Victorian home. Chuck lived his life fully. "I will live my life until my life runs out. I am wonderful. I deserve to be wonderful, and I contain multitudes."

“The human brain is finite—no more than a sponge of tissue inside a cage of bone—but the mind within the brain is infinite. Its storage capacity is colossal, its imaginative reach beyond our ability to comprehend. I think when a man or woman dies, a whole world falls to ruin—the world that person knew and believed in. Think of that, kiddo—billions of people on earth, and each one of those billions with a world inside. The earth their minds conceived.”
