I hated this story. Sorry, I don't know how else to say it.
I'll keep this review as apolitical as possible and also try to keep from editorializing, but no promises (haha). Basically, I started listening to this one, noticed it was only 19 minutes long and thought "Oh good! Short = powerful!" The story starts at 0:50 and by 4:13 I decided to start timing just how long the narrator would keep blabbing on, describing youtube videos of the Iraq war. By 9:19 I gave up, because I realized that's all this "story" was about.
It was totally plotless. About 3/4 of it involves some unnamed narrator describing youtube videos to us (which I could have accomplished by visiting youtube.com, typing in "Iraq war" and reading the summarries aloud). The other 1/4 of it was the (supposed) atheist narrator fretting about whether he was somehow "possessed" by the atoms of some dead Iraqi and (maybe) the atoms of an American soldier too.
In the end we get a wonderful message about how we're all part of the same whole and "in it together" (so to speak) with a "clever" dung-beetle metaphor. I'll reiterate my previous stance here: I hate stories that are all about pushing some sort of grand, cosmic revelation on the reader.
I am already aware that we all are made up of each other. We all come from the same pool of eternal, indestructable matter, after all. As Carl Sagan said, "we are all made up of starstuff." For every part of dead Iraqi someone might have in him or her, there are billions of particles of newborn star, dead galaxy, shit, rapist and victim, Helen of Troy, George Washington, the pyramids, alien suns, Jesus and Muhammad, T. Rex and Trylobyte. This story trivialized the awesome majesty of an infinite and incomrehensible cosmos with some weak message that wasn't even brave enough to just say "Come on people now, smile on your brother, everybody get together and love one another!"
Or maybe that wasn't its intended message - and if it wasn't, I don't care in the least. All this "story" consisted of WAS a message and if I wanted a message, I'd go elsewhere.
