I'm not reading it again right now (have re-read it a couple of times, when for some reason I'm in the mood), but what I remember of this story, apart from the fact that it was tightly written was that it was probably so disturbing because it was horribly plausible. I'm not even sure why--I don't quite get Mulder's motivations on the whole not telling them thing--but it just works in context, and fuck, it's disturbing.
Also, a beautiful story. Prose wise, I mean. The ending phrase just kills me--it could work very well for just canon Mulder, too.
