Bruin Fisher Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Not so much a short story; more a gallery of word pictures, related by the theme of Rain. I found these short tales quite delightful in the same way that a box of hand-crafted expensive chocolates are delightful - I took my time over enjoying every aspect of each story. Cole's writing is first-class and he brought to life the various characters and their stories brilliantly. The joy of getting soaked to the skin is something I had nearly forgotten. A lovely treat, thanks Cole! R A I N Quote Link to comment
Lugnutz Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Having just read this I must agree. Cole is a god walking among us mere mortals. The "Mickey" segment had me laughing. Now tell us, you got caught in a downpour and inspiration struck? Quote Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 No, not really. Des had me convinced the story I wrote for the AD project wouldn't get past the censors and might land me in jail, so I wrote a backup. Mike convinced me to go with the original, so I posted the backup. Which I'm happy about because I think the original I wrote is better. Not that I don't like this one. It was really fun to write.

Gee Whillickers Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 I agree, awesome little collection, and I couldn't be happier that we were able to benefit from your backup plan. But, you had a backup story!? Some of us mere mortals felt lucky to just squeak a story in under the deadline for the project. And you had a back-up story. Harumph. Quote Link to comment
Merkin Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 I suspect that Cole, when he was a naughty little boy, got plenty of practice devising backup stories. Quote Link to comment

Whoever said I was a naughty little boy? I resent the assumption! Gee, I was the perfect little darling. Always. But I did have an active imagination, and, as James suggests, there were occasions when it did come in handy. C Quote Link to comment

See my post here where I talk about something that I did that's the same as what Cole is doing in this post. You were a naughty little boy, Cole! Colin Quote Link to comment

Colin Isn't there some old saw about kettles and pots and name calling or something. It's terrible getting old and not remembering this stuff. C Quote Link to comment
