 Hobbitch 2004-02-09 . chapter 1O, how simply sopping with symbolism. Very brief but effective. To me, it sounds like the narrator's done a mistake and is asking for help much too late. Thus, the weight of the error is crushing him/her and trapping him/her to the "bottom of the lake" like a stone, so there if no other way to go or escape. The only thing s/he can see is up, where the rest of the world is merrily resuming. The narrator wants to talk to someone about his/her problems but his/her loved ones have abandoned him/her because of his mistakes and as a result, he has no one to talk to and is trapped in his situation.
I like it. |
