Actually,I think the last few pages,are the saddest part of the story so far…
Oh,there were sad parts-like the annihilation of Kyri’s tribe,but I can connect to Colindra’s situation…
Reading between the lines,there’s something Cole doesn’t say…”People would think I was a frightfull witch….which I am not!”
In fact,the whole action of going to a beauty parlor,is nothing but the desperate struggle of Cole to reclaim her sanity,by doing something a natural girl of her age would do.
That’s why I can’t laugh with this situation-it’s tragic.
As I have read somewhere “There’s no good comedy without a touch of tragedy and no good tragedy without a touch of comedy”.
A master stroke Tony….This was pure genius!
Khrys and flabajaba – 🙂 Thanks for stoppin’ by!
Just a reader – Thanks Costas. 🙂 Yes, you hit the subtext of the scene exactly right! The main plot of Endstone is about the hunt for the missing Endstone pieces with the world hanging in the balance, but really underneath there is a story about an innocent young girl who is possessed by an evil being. Will she fall into madness, be rescued, or be destroyed?
Just what is that thing on the gods head? My brother says it’s gotta be some kind of high-tech brain computer, but I’ll stick to anti-gravity orange juice carried on his head for a snack now and then…
So it’s some kind of brain computer that runs on anti-gravity orange juice?
Or does the god snack on brain computers?
Or does the anti-gravity orange juice snack on his brain (computer)?
Yikes.
Well darn. And here I was thinking it was a combo spaghetti strainer/hair curler. Because, you know, Cole’s not the only one who likes to look good whilst destroying the world.
And we couldn’t have THAT, Cole…
Priorities.
=D

LOL. I think you’re both right. 🙂

Oh and please, Tony. if you ever make this in color, make the stuff in his creepy helmet orange… just for me…
you got it. 🙂
Tony, I kneel for your awesomeness, and for the orange juice. Huzzah.

I always describe it as a hair curler myself. 🙂
