Eh… based on what I've read of this, my story would be somewhat similar in tone, but the basic premise and its resolution would be quite different. For one, it would eventually be revealed that the agent(s) behind everything are not "supernatural", at least in a strict sense.
And as a bonus, here's another (older) one that I posted on these forums a while ago:
What is really the point of life? Of course the pursuit of knowledge is a great and noble cause, but what happens when that runs out? When we’ve learned all there is to learn?
It is an unknown time in the far distant future- at least millions, if not billions, of years ahead- and the human race had long ago met its strange and seemingly final destiny. An unfathomable number of lives are being lived out in a vast and ever-growing network of metal and wire; not, however, in a way that we would recognize.
Their perfectly engineered bodies lie in smooth pods, never aging, while an assortment of monitors, chemicals, tubes and electrodes allow them to remain in a permanent state of absolute ecstasy. That is, after all, what we all wanted, right? Infinite joy, infinite pleasure, no pain, no sadness?
Somewhere buried deep in this matrix that is our final achievement as a people, among the rows and rows of blissful sleep, a pair of eyes open.
