I was trying to tag an AO3 fic while barreling down rapids with no floatation device.

'24.7.15 鹿跳渓谷にて

3連休最終日、奈良公園へ向かいますが身体が水辺を欲してきたのでR24を北上、さらに東へ向いて滋賀県南部へ。瀬田川の急流箇所へ行ってみました。

川縁に着くと、河川作業用？の小道の苔むしたブロック擁壁が何となく気になって、増水した川面と並行して撮り歩き。

しばらくすると雨がぱらついてきました。すぐ側に神社があるのでそこで雨宿り･･続く

page 564 - okay, I can't let it go yet because it is all just churn, like the cutaway of this popular rapid in the Adirondack Mountains of north-east America.

I'm too annoyed with myself to actually explain my thinking here, so I'll just leave some breadcrumbs for you to figure out the metaphor.

-AI

-consumption and regurgitation

-ouroboros

-diminishing returns

-diminished humanity

-swim in an innocuous river

-pulled into a faster current

-no matter how hard you swim the shore is out of reach

-trapped in the churning water gasping for breath whenever you break the surface for a frantic second

-smashed against rocks having your skin gouged and peeled from your body as your blood flows into the river's roiling waters the world goes grey then black because you've swallowed too much water and not enough oxygen

-diminished individual
