ARGH. She makes the disappearance of a colleague all about her and her angst over the metaphorical disappearance of her upcoming retirement.

When writing about people who needed saving from starvation and scurvy and bears, and who for the most part didn't get it, I think you need to leave that metaphor at home for the duration.
