You are disoriented. Blackness swims toward you like a school of eels who have just seen something that eels like a lot.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
This narration describes a character's disoriented state using an absurd, vivid comparison to eels reacting with visible pleasure to something unnamed. The exaggerated simile pushes ordinary confusion into surreal comic territory. It's playful, nonsensical imagery meant to unsettle and amuse rather than describe anything literal.
