This would have been a significantly more enjoyable experience if the title of the submission didn't give away the ending.

Seriously OP, why would you put the end in the title?

same reason american shows have the "still to come" segments? (but in this case, times 10 worst)

I won't read because of op bad title choice :(

Completely off topic, however I read this originally right around when Lost went off the air.

I always wished this is how Lost ended: with Jack being told by Jacob that he was actually everyone on the plane (which is why they all had a weird connection), and all these lives were him waiting to be "born" into running the island.

On the other hand, a title of "The Egg" might not have attracted enough views and upvotes for you to have seen it. There's a pique/spoil trade-off, now in social media more than ever. (In this case, the first line might have worked just as well, though: "You were on your way home when you died...")

"The other hand" is a far better scenario. Odds are you'll see it at some point if this sort of thing interests you, far better that than to find it this way.
