How about a quote from Scott as that one-line zinger? "Like anchors for people" comes to mind.
"Like anchors for people"
Obviously, people don't go around wearing anchors.
I mean the word anchor wasn't even in the poem he read to Amber. It sure sounds like he added that analogy directly from his sick subconscious. The pros should highlight that with professional opinions.
Don't say what's on your mind Scott lol....IMO he anchored the body just like he said in hopes the body would float to the surface and he would collect the life insurance...and those trips out to the bay ? he was looking to see if the body was floating.
