This is literally the story of the (M)Other and the passage to the pre-Mirror stage of thr Subject, but with horror characteristics. Do I need to speak more Lacan here? Nie. Good. Otherwise, it be a pretty great reading and I had fun thinking how this was going to descend as soon as I saw the Freudian slip and the “descend to Hades” aphorism. I like to note that time has been improperly recorded since our Subject began impossibly regressing when the (M)Other began to grow more and more into what she would become later. So good on keeping the details in check, even the minor ones.
This is one of your best comments and makes me feel like reading Lacan. This concept of M(Other) will soon require my attention. This story represents an allegory and I placed a couple of symbols and esoteric references other than the elements that you cleverly spotted. You noticed the timing huh.. there's an idea behind that. There was and amount of polishing and editing behind this story. Thanks for your appreciation chop!
