“He had such low self-esteem, he swam in Lake Inferior.”
“He wept because he was afraid now that he could not save Gabriel. He no longer cared about himself”

“He tried to read, but the words swam in front of his eyes in meaningless waves. He put on the television. Nick at Nite, the cultural equivalent of aerosol cheese.”
“It was Nick's voice Nick's arms. He turned me on my back and swam with me, pulling me to the bank.”
