Ice Cold Cola

loved it up until the end, nice character study of a situation in which we can all relate. The ending however, felt like a cop out. My 2 lincolns
 
How the hell did you get the coke machine to do that thing with your dollor, where it slowly spit it out? Was that planned or did it just happen that way. What happend if the Coke machine actually took your dollar. If it were me, I would most likely be out my only dollar :)
It interesting that a short where the only two words are F@ck and Sh*t could do such a good job at telling a story. Although, i have to say, and this is really nitpicking, that the "****" line could have been delivered a little better, and it might have been cool to have her really conversing with the machine, like I would most likely do, something like this.
"listen her you little @#$% @#$er, you take this dollar and I'll. . .. " you get the point. Spice it up a little bit.

Good work, nice colors, and nice contrast.
 
Well done over all. I agree with the posts about it being a bit too long, and the delivery of one of the expletives was a little weak.

I would like to have seen her actually in negotiation with the machine and not the random poo poo or poo poo! blurted out.

. . . even if the negotiation wasn't verbal.


I found that I was a bit confused on how to read her and the story. At first I was feeling the frustration toward the machine, but then the end left me agape. Was it supposed to be funny, dark, commentary, etc. To what was I supposed to relate--her frustration, her pathology, the unexpected twist? Was it tongue-in-cheek (barrel-in-throat)? Maybe it's just my unfamiliarity with the genre.

Good job!
