Talk:It's Just a Mirage/@comment-26030957-20150607220811/@comment-26030957-20150608220423

I forgot to say that what I really like about this pasta is that it is not the creature she seeks that ultimately does her in, but the quest itself. So many pastas have scientists, or the simply curious, going out hunting down some myth only to have that legend turn on them. In this story that does not happen. It is her own desire to seek out the beast that is the cause of her death and in the end we are left wondering if there even is a Mongolian Death Worm. She did see something in the desert there, but could it have just been a mirage?
