The "little death" of orgasm is replaced with literal death. Placing the mother in the tub is symbolic of returning her to a replacement "womb" -- the arena in which only moment earlier Percy had been shaving himself, transforming himself, forming and preparing to give birth to his alter-ego. <br /><br />Well done.Vick D'Mentalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16787164937259381252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8315804401047757323.post-64881220768821001592014-07-13T12:07:24.816-07:002014-07-13T12:07:24.816-07:00Great story.
