Would this count as a metaphor?

I'm writing a story and just wondering if this would count as a metaphor or not..

Strictly speaking, no. The sentence does not make sense and is in fact not a complete sentence, or I would suggest a revision. The rhetorical device of metaphor is "A comparison made by referring to one thing as another" (
