Wow, that was so beautiful. I can't believe that so much thought was put into a simple story. Great review by the way.
Oh shit I'm feeling it.

Definitely one of my favorite works, too. I think the author used just the right amount of prose, and was, like you said, blunt in just the right way.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!

An amazing tale of drama and sadness.
Once, there was an ugly barnacle. He was so ugly that everyone died.
At first it seems like a very simple tale, of a barnacle being so ugly that he kills everyone. But, if you look closer, you'll see that it is much more complex than it let on. You can imagine the pain the barnacle went through being ugly, the terror of the people that were killed by his ugliness, and his loneliness, being the last living creature left after such a tragedy. This raises questions though. How did he get so ugly? What made his ugliness so bad that it was lethal? And exactly how much is "everyone"? The beauty of this story, however, is that it is so blunt. It tells you what happens, but sets up no back story, leaving you to wonder the above points and more. If I had to guess, the barnacle ate some radioactive stuff, which in turn made him ugly. He was immune to the radiation he was giving off, and lived his normal life. But, the things he came in contact with got his radiation, and all died. He realized that he had killed everyone else in the world, as he was a traveler, and locked himself up, where he starved to death and himself died, and so EVERYONE DIED. The end.
I would recommend this story to anyone who isn't afraid of being ugly, or is ugly and proud. If you do think you are ugly, you may find that it won't help at all.
