It may be odd to get into a conversation like this with strangers, but Garry neither noticed nor cared. Cole was promising himself to me more fascinating the more he spoke. To think this all started with Cole sputtering what could be perceived as random and out of place.

But Garry thought it was unique and it wanted him to know more.

"No but I think," Garry started, being the art teacher now he had to be as realistic and true to the values of art, in his eyes anyway. "Art is subjective. There will be someone who never likes your art or your art makes someone upset. But none of that should stop artists from expressing themselves. Whether through paint or words."
