The 'O' Words
Do you like the way I associate all those ‘O’ words with Otto? Hopefully that helps describe him and the situation, but equally as important, gives insight to our sense of humor. As a writer, it was fun to toy with. On page 1 he’s Otto the Outermost, to let the reader know he is the cream of the crust, and far out there as well. A real gem. It doesn't stay that way. He gets called Otto the Onlooker, Otto the Oscillator, and Our Otto. Halfway in, as things begin to sour, I call him Otto the Ox to show his inflexibility and Otto's Obtinance. Unfortunately that turns into Otto the Opaque. By the end of the story he’s back to Otto the Optimist, so all is good. I need to collect all the times I reference the ‘O’ word . . . must be 20 times or so. All in good fun.
