I liked this story because it has a lot of interesting symbols like the pools and the passing seasons, if you understand these symbols it will be easier to understand the story.
Ned seems to have a perfect life, at least that is what he thinks, but as he travels pool by pool, he feels lonly because most of his friends disappear, even his family dissappears in the end of the story. This is a way to tell that you have to take care of what you have. Also every time he goes into another house or pool, you know something about his past, mostly bad things, since he rejects those things. As this happens he begins to feel older and with no condition.
About the seasons, this guy believes that everything happened in 1 day, but actually everything happened in one year. It begins like a beautiful dream in spring and ends in a horrible nightmare in winter when he sees he is all alone. At the end is when he realizes everything that has happened; as if each pool represented a moment in his life.
