Thank you for the explanation. I agree that most fiction is a recasting of older stories, but I think you are putting too much thought into the motivations of this story. I agree that it's playing on the fantasy of rebirthing creation, But I think it only succeeds in doing so because the story in itself is so frivolous and brief. A last moment "plot twist" right as the story ends, making the reader feel there is more to the story than there actually is.
