Write the Story Out Completely

It may be that you need to write the story and get it down and look at it on paper.
You may think that it would be a waste of time, but as in many things our brains lead us to what we need to see and you are being pulled toward this theme so you should get the words down as fast as you can.

As Fast As You Can

If you're worried about wasting time (this is the root of Writer's Block in many writers) then do a quick outline type of thing and then write it in pure stream-of-consciousness just to get it out.

Most likely once you see it on paper you will be able to know that you've thought the theme all the way thru and you'll be able to set it aside.

Could Lead to Great Things

Also, you may find that you have something far better than you hoped but you'll never truly know until you get the words down and look at it.

After you follow this path, you'll be able to move on to other things.
