Comments on 'Cole's Novelty'On a freshly dusted bench, Cole sat in the bright sunshine of another perfect day. The day was not perfect owing entirely to the weather, but to his being in a pleasant state of mind. He watched the occasional car rumble down main street, a quaint shopping quarter, a relic of a simpler and more prosperous time for their town.
His cautious nibble of the almond danish was a rewardingly sweet and novel taste. He'd never bought this type before, though he rarely bought the same thing twice. There's just something about being predictable he found so urbane and simple. No, Cole was not a man to be pegged.
A contented sigh seeped forth from his vested chest. Soon he would have to return to the scrabbling masses of high school drama students, but for now he could enjoy a thoroughly poetic day. And besides, some of them showed decided promise, tender young buds of possibility, just waiting to be molded, schooled, and nurtured.
And Cole was just the man to do it, at least in his humble estimation.2008-06-25T00:12:13Zhttp://ficlets.com/feed/story/29081Comment on Cole's Novelty<p>Man, that’s creepy!</p>
<p>My drama teacher’s name is Cole…</p>
<p>This series is very well written so far.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/29081?basename=736612008-06-25T00:12:13ZOrangeOreoshttp://ficlets.com/authors/orangeoreosComment on Cole's Novelty<p>I like the writing here a lot, especially lines like “his vested chest.” This writing reminds me a little bit of Faulkner, that same languorous and deliberate pacing.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/29081?basename=702462008-06-12T16:18:34ZAna Cristinahttp://ficlets.com/authors/asimon78Comment on Cole's Novelty<p>Wow, quite the change of pace from the prequel. I’ll be interested to see how you can possibly relate the two characters.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/29081?basename=632682008-05-19T01:15:21Zkaellinn18http://ficlets.com/authors/kaellinn18Comment on Cole's Novelty<p>I must say this seems in no way related to the prequel. lets see how this pans out.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/29081?basename=624572008-05-15T14:06:13ZPyroPunk 51 (PPP LoA)http://ficlets.com/authors/pyropunkComment on Cole's Novelty<p>he’s very msyterious.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/29081?basename=609922008-05-08T18:36:12ZSKermitgorfhttp://ficlets.com/authors/kermitgorfComment on Cole's Novelty<p>I am loving the contrast in characters already. Have a feeling a great conflict awaits, and I do <em>love</em> conflict. :) At least, when I get to watch from the outside, don’t care so much being in the thick of it. Wonderfully <em>thoroughly</em> constructed characters! Absolutely marvelous!</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/29081?basename=605952008-05-06T10:31:22ZJenuniquehttp://ficlets.com/authors/jenuniqueComment on Cole's Novelty<p>And the character depth deepens. The enchanting thoughts of a person who can find enjoyment in his work. Very nice to read from the previous ficlet to this one. The density of the narration is being lifted word by word and thus revealing more as it goes. I’m just admiring, don’t mind me…</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/29081?basename=603662008-05-05T00:36:04ZTad Winslowhttp://ficlets.com/authors/tjdComment on Cole's Novelty<p>Mmm, this was brilliant. I could practically smell the almond danish.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/29081?basename=597892008-05-01T17:18:51ZLaine P. Greyhttp://ficlets.com/authors/lainegreyComment on Cole's Novelty<p>Interesting. A very well described scene, to the last detail. I’m interested to see how it fits in with your prequel… which had a decidedly different, more foreboding tone.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/29081?basename=597762008-05-01T15:22:15Zthebetweenspacehttp://ficlets.com/authors/thebetweenspace
