i’m looking to find a story, it’s probably a short story or poem, where a woman attempts to off herself by laying in a rain puddle and drowning. i cannot for the life of me find a real life example of this so maybe it was a work of fiction, if not, it was some author’s wife or mother.
all other factors about this that may be true are she was a wife or a mother, and she may not have died by doing this (as in, someone dragged her out or something) and the work was old, like Victorian, Gothic or Romantic. (it is possible that none of that is true, i genuinely cannot remember, so take the above factors with a grain of salt)
thank you for your help and preventing me from being up all night thinking about where this came from!!!
