Going Away Party

Hi Billy,
   As an adjective, 'Stygian' could mean 'as black as the river Styx', but in this case I am trying for 'total dark' or more simply 'blackness' or 'the night'. Either that or I am entirely confused :p Thanks for your feedback. I did get a little dark for a moment, but that wasn't the intent necessarily. I'll work on it some more.

but would that be interpreted as;
i slip into the as black as the river styx?

i slip into the Stygian
cool,
would work for me

as a metalepsis, i suppose it could work (as leanne said) but the styx, is often known as the river of hate, which again, i suppose could be black but it would be a big leap to connect it with black...which is what a metalepsis does i suppose. for me it doesn't work and i suspect for the multitude a metalepsis would be something not known.

that said, i'm not even sure cool is good word to be connected with stygian as it separates earth from hell, hades or the underworld (where people often stoke boilers for a living.

shit...sorry for the long windy
