Chronicle Toward Books The Egg
The perfect gif to express my feelings toward this four page story:
You were on your way home when you died…
Click HERE to see what happens next. After all, YOU are the hero.
I can't review this the way I review novels. And I can't say anything, because you would be furious at me; I shan't spoil it for you. All I can say is that Andy Weir is one deep guy. Deep deep deep. What I loved most about this - very - short story?
It made me think.
PS. The reason why I can't give this a five star rating is due to the fact that the author used a relatively familiar language when *God* or *god* interacted with, well, you. It was strange to hear Him/him say words like ''yup'' or ''good stuff.''

"You were on your way home when you died." So this is a tiny short story by Andy Weir - yes, he of The Martian fame, the book that still makes me feel all giddy inside. This is a story that apparently has gone viral, but I somehow missed it (apparently I do live under a rock - 14-16 hour workdays can do that to you) until I saw a friend's review and my curiosity peaked.It's indeed a quick tiny story that you can read in under three minutes. It's a parable, really - and written in an easy catchypeople seem really taken with this story. and that's super, but for once i don't feel bad for not liking something as much as other people are liking it. i'm a jonathan carroll fan. and this 4-page story is fine, but it's really no different from some stoner youth's "hey, imaaaagine if this is the way (insert unknowable situation here) really is?" and there's a small amount of philosophy 101 back-and-forth and then it ends, and i assume you, the reader, are meant to be MIND = BLOWN!but not me.
Egg, a short story about the universe.Very short, and very powerful, packs a lot into a small package.Like an egg.Weir continues to impress. Same guy who wrote The Martian, yep that's him.I could not help thinking of the 1991 Albert Brooks film, Defending Your Life.This won't take 15 minutes to read, enjoy.

*speechless*I've never thought of this. It's mind-blowing! And it would make sense. To actually understand what I'm talking about read The Egg here . It's only 4 pages. And it's enough.

I'd loved Weirs The Martian both the book and the film adaptation and I'd subsequently heard quite a lot of people waxing lyrical about this short story. Its easy to track down a free copy on the Internet and it really is very short, the audio version being just eight minutes long. Its a fantasy/ science fiction tale of a man who dies in a car accident, leaving behind a wife and two children. In the immediate aftermath he meets his Maker and its the discussion that ensues that packs the punch.
So the guy who wrote The Martian has a one page freebie about The Meaning of Life.Is it anything life-changing? No. But it's free. And at least he didn't try to charge his fans money for a garbage creation like some authors did. Read it here.
