I love the way you have described the soul as having a symbiotic relationship with the body. I may extrapolate on this in a ficly when I return from holidays.
This story just would not leave me alone. I kept coming back to it and finally just had to give in and sequel it. Hopefully, it does justice to the original. :)
I love the first line, especially the phrase “melt into a dark primordial ooze.” As a total science nerd, I really, really enjoy how this reads like a “Life of the (insert organism)”-esque article with a dark, philosophical twist.
