"You were on your way home when you died. It was a car accident. Nothing particularly remarkable, but fatal nonetheless. You left behind a wife and two children. It was a painless death. The EMTs tried their best to save you, but to no avail. Your body was so utterly shattered you were better off, trust me. And that’s when you met me."

A short story about the universe.

It's an interesting piece of philosophy, but wasn't anything super ground breaking. It's worth a listen if you like the author.

Worth the $2

I had no idea what to expect from this, but I loved The Martian so I thought I'd give it a try. Although it's something utterly different from the bestselling novel, I found it a worthwhile listen. This short story presents a concept of life-after-death that I hadn't encountered before, and one that is very thought-provoking: if you take it to heart you might need to adjust how you interact with other people.

A fascinating concept.

it is a weird short blurb. I don't know if I liked it or not.

AMAZING STORY! Way better performed by the people at "in a nutshell" and its free on youtube.

really interesting if a little short. Im not really sure what to say but it definitely has that Andy Weir feel to it.

an odd little story

My mind was not blown but it had the usual excellence I'm accustomed to from anything by R.C Bray.

It's good.

An eye opener and perspective changer. Definitely resonated with me and all I stand for.

Loved It.

This short story reminded me of Scott Adams' "God's debris". You won't regret investing in this... "idea"?

Superb

Short, at 7 minutes but original plot and storyline. The idea is interesting because it is different. Thought provoking, despite its improbability. Do not waste a credit on it - buy it - I doubt many will regret it.

Andy Weirs style and original thoughts that I first came across in The Marian are reflected here. Based on that book, and this 'long paragraph' (calling it a booklet is exaggeration), I intend trying another book of AW's.

Suitable precurser for a 'Meaning Of Life' debate

It's the shortest book I've read but there's a lot to think about after reading it. Treat everyone like you would like to be treated.

It's really 8 minutes
