Status Updates From The Life of Chuck

I wanted Chuck to know he was going to die. Because, dig it, we all do know, don't we? We just kind of pretend the elephant in the room is a big gray sofa.

What if it isn't a library that burns when a man dies? What if it's a whole world? His world?

Initial inspiration: Always up for trying a narrated King short…

“The human brain is finite […] 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. [B]illions of people on earth, and each one of those billions with a world inside. The earth their minds have conceived.“ (p. 39)
