Geoffrey lifted himself up with the blanket draped over him like a hooded cloak, and he paced around the main room of the workshop. Darren appeared again, looking at the sculptures left sitting on the tables.
"Oh hey," Geoff greeted the ghost child. He exhaled and sat down in his sculpting chair. "...There has to be something I'm doing wrong... Maybe I should start a different theme..."
Darren cocked his head, uncertain of what Geoff meant.
"Well, woodland ferals," Geoff explained, "Those were the most popular when I first started selling my work. Probably because... well, people don't get to see them much, being stuck in the city and all. Maybe the fad's grown tired..."
"I like," the antelope told him, smiling while pointing to the recent owl sculpture.
Geoff showed him a soft smile back. "Yeah, I know. I like it, too. But I'm sure many more notable artists have been doing the same stuff, and people are getting bored with the concept... But what should I do next?"
