Synopsis
In "I'll Visit You As A Butterfly," one man's battle for life becomes a battle for death.
What good is money when it can't buy health?
When there's nothing left of love but memories, what do we live for?
How much suffering can we force ourselves to withstand to avoid letting go?
A wealthy old man in his cliffside home seeks answers to the universe, his past, and his lack of future in this thought-provoking, awe-inspiring short story. A bright mind in a dying disease-ridden body, he must make a choice:
Will he live for two years and suffer a harrowing, painful death at the whim of a terminal illness? Or will he turn to technology to alleviate his suffering?
On his laptop is the following message:
YOU WILL BE ASKED TWO QUESTIONS. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY ANSWERING "YES" EACH TIME, YOU WILL DIE?
Will he have the courage to find his own version of peace?
And if courage fails him, will technology prevail?
Dark and insightful, yet somehow hopeful, "I'll Visit You As A Butterfly" will make you question what you think you know about life, loss, and stolen futures.
