“(…)-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 (…) billions of people on earth, and each one of those billions with a world inside. The earth their minds have conceived.”

I decided to read this short story after randomly seeing the movie The Life of Chuck. Crazy that an entire movie could be crafted from a 60-page short story and still be a pretty faithful adaptation (excluding Mike Flanagan’s infamous monologues of course)

My only complaint is that it’s too short, but it’s also fitting
