Piercing the Veil of Metaphor

Write about an inanimate object that played a symbolic role in defining the climax of a dramatic tale.

Often objects stand as symbols and metaphors for deeper meanings – a clock could signify the passing of time or a rushing deadline, a mirror could represent self-reflection or revelation, a storm could epitomize chaos or a forthcoming change. Delve into the narrative where you entwine the course of action around an ordinary object that later unravels with a deeper connection to the plot. This will enable you to explore how symbols can enhance drama and influence the course of a story.
