As Death led him away by the hand, the more he asked, the more he forgot.
Until he forgot everything and was born again.
I don't know if I would call this horror. But it is very sweet.
I agree. Reminded me a bit of The Egg.
I think it depends on what and how you believe in life and death in this life. It doesn't sound like someone like you is bothered by it. But many people that grow up with deeply held life long beliefs would find it disturbing.
I have to agree with the previous comment. I do not find this horrific or even disturbing, but very comforting.
Can you help us understand what aspects of this you feel some people might find discomforting?
