Oh no, don't worry nothing extreme.
But I have finally decided on who is my favorite secondary character in a story here on SOL. I know, you've all been waiting with bated breath for my decision.
So I'll not keep you waiting any longer. I think my favorite secondary character in any story here on SOL is... Omo.
You remember Omo, right? He is the gardening expert brought to the island by Deni Truong in Refusenik's Island Mine.
Omo is expertly described and I can perfectly visualize him whenever I read that story. When the islanders are sitting in the powerboat waiting for the launch of the first space vehicle from Freehold. He's sitting toward the back of the boat with a line in the water fishing. Or when the day of the wedding comes, he is running around trying to make everything look perfect and forcing the Truong brothers to move plantings and flowerbeds from here to there. You can see him doing it all with a huge smile on his face since he is excited by a good wedding. Or maybe more to the point he's more excited about the good celebration AFTER the wedding.
It is all just expertly told and with the absolute minimum of verbiage possible. That is a sign of excellent writing.
I'm determined to get Refusenik to acknowledge my fandom of each of his stories... or at least until Cold Creek posts another chapter.
Tee Hee.
