1/25/11: Jack Fargone and Otto

Jack is the protaganist for a series I would like to write. He seeks advice from a whale named Otto and here is a little bit of that.

Jack Fargone stood watching the blue water on the other side of the protective barrier. He stared deeply into the cyan abyss that existed filled the large window before him.

As he watched the light filter through the water his mind wandered to his left jean pocket. Inside his pocket he was thumbing a ring around his index finger. An engagement ring meant for someone who didn’t actually want it and now will never get it.

“Thinking about Regina, again?” The voice was slow and smooth.

“Yea, Otto,” Jack answered. He continued to stare into the aquarium.

“Can’t help but think if she were here she would have liked all this craziness even more than me.”

“I am sure she would have also,” The voice grows a little louder as a large whale swims across the window into the aquarium.
