Okay, I think get what this is about, but maybe it's just too subtle. I get that the hero isn't the teller of the tale. But it's just so, I don't know how to describe it ... thin, maybe? I wanted more. I do not understand why people are willing to die to reach the summit of a mountain -- it seems like such a worthless goal. So you make it -- then what? The story did make me think, and it did leave me wanted more, so it's worth reading. But it's not as satisfying as most of Howey's works are.An aside: I just read the newest version which was supposed to have errors corrected. But, what the hell is an "asterix?" Stopped me cold, which is not a good thing in a very short story.
