maybe

could you explain please?

I think maybe it's a story about wasted lives, abuse, lost hopes and meaninglessness of human life, all that leading to mental sickness (she keeps her mother somewhere). The bugs flying to the light and being disoriented wnen there are too many sources of light are the metaphor of us living our lives. I had those thoughts very clear just after the first reading of the story, now it's hard to express myself, sorry ...
