What does "hollow" mean in this sentence? The fear was still there like a cold slimy hollow in all the emptiness where once his confidence had been and it made him feel sick. It was still there with him now. Thank you!

Topher has it. Noun = empty space. It is figurative. There is a gap where his confidence used to be.

it's used as a noun in this case, meaning a sort of depression or pit.
