octipus rex 29

(From Herbert's Journal)

thomas cooked an excellent dinner for us this evening. even john was impressed. thomas said he was not sure how to cook the foods that we usually eat yet, so he bought what he needed for the meal at the grocery store. he explained that when he cooks he breaks away from the precision that is always present in mathematics. he follows recipes loosely adjusting them to get the best results, this was the first time that he has cooked for us. he said that he would like to cook often, because it relaxes him and he wants to show off his art. john gave him a dirty look, which, fortunately, he did not see. john will stay on his toes to make sure that we remember that thomas is a cook but that he is a chef. it amazes me that someone as unimaginative as john can cook as well as he can.


Note: This is the end of what has been written of octipus rex ends. The characters had not been completely revealed. The point of view of each character is limited, as is the point of view of any of us. Typing this has reminded me of character developments that I had in mind. There are things about some of the characters that the other characters did not yet know about. There have been hints about some of these things. There are also developments in the relationships between the characters. I am considering continuing it, but I have not yet decided.
