Two More Characters

Tony Shuster is a shoe polisher who does his job so well that you have to drop your shoes off for three days. He uses those three days polishing just your shoes. He lives in this musty old shack that has fifty pictures of famed shoe polishers on the walls.

Tony's favorite thing to do is to go out to eat with his best friend Bridget Cork who over the years has collected around two million corks, is a professional skier who invented the quadruple cork, and has walked across at least one bridge every day of her life. Her favorite food is a French baguette hot from the oven.

  1. Well, Jacob, not only am I so excited to see another entry from you, but you just took it up a giant notch. :) This is so compelling. I love your other piece, Jacob, but I'm so VERY connected to Tony. Just wonderful. You brought in a little of you, a little humor, a little oddity, GREAT sentence structure, some history (those famous shoe polishers!!!! so funny and so good), and A FRENCH BAGUETTE HOT FROM THE OVEN!!!! That's just spectacular. Delicious in so many ways. Good good job. Carolyn
