... Yellow 1. "The deep was here whether he was swimming over it or not. It had been here waiting while he slept sodden, in his hotel room". In his short story, Yellow, Peter Carty confronts man with the fear that persists in the emptiness of the unknown. Through the experiences of the main character, Jon a second-string writer of a magazine in London, P. Carty reveals human nature under pressure, whether it is in the deep blue sea or in the face of suppressed reality factors. The story is set in Egypt as we hear in the very first sentence: "Welcome to Egypt! Welcome to Egypt." And Jon, the protagonist, is the only person the reader gets to know in depth. Jon is on a business trip to Egypt where he is to write an article on scuba diving. He does not volunteer, but felt obliged to do so by his editor.
