Think of that, kiddo-billions of people on earth, and each one of those billions with a world inside. I think hen a man or a woman dies, a whole world falls to ruin-the world that person knew and believe in. Its storage capacity is colossal, its imagination reach beyond our ability to comprehend. An "Unc" who would go on to tell a grieving son, The human brain is finite-no more than a sponge of tissue inside a cage of bone-but the mind within the brain is infinite. A son who doesn't understand why God has to take his father and an "Unc" who specializes in all things existential, who explains death brings philosophy to ruin. A man's story which spanned 39 years, and a man who will never get to see his son graduate from high school. A man's story of a life lived, a story of a man who will never take a train ride across Canada or visit Australia, but a man who danced in a suit and perhaps even left the world with a viral video two. Well, Chuck's story is told backward, from the time of the death leading back to his childhood.
