In case you just sort of ran into this, at Gamerswithjobs forums we have a running contest. August's challenge was to tell a story with nothing at all but dialog. This was a mean one, and all my attempts really suck. But this was the least sucky of the bunch.
==================================================== Working Title: Celedon Denise: So, this is it? What do I do now? Voice: <Just hang on a minute.> Denise: I did what you asked. I found the stupid pendant, I'm hanging it over the stupid pool. So when do I see my son?! If this doesn't work I'm going to pound you into the ground like a tent-peg when I find you! Voice: <Sigh. Just hang ON a minute.> ------------------------------------------------------------ Ezekiel: She survived it. Believe it or not. Gabriel: So now we have to do the rest of it. Ezekiel: I still don't understand the Boss in all of this. We've got nothing in the books. And they're supposed to cover everything. I mean, look at this list! Why couldn't she just pick a mythos and stick with it? Gabriel: You know the drill. You're going to have to find us enough common elements to get her into the same realm as the boy. Come on. It isn't that bad. Remember the one we had to do the mouse for? Ezekiel: Of course I do! I had to be the fargin' duck. My throat still hurts. Gabriel: I know. No one else has ever tried to do this before. The model has always been if they were alive they would wait patiently at home. Especially the Moms. Michael: I hope this isn't a new kind of story. We're going to have to make it up as we go along. Gabriel: You're the best there is. If anyone can do it, you can. Ezekiel: Sigh. All right. <grumble grumble> Let me see what I can do. ----------------------------------------------------------- Michael: No. You can take that plan and fold it until it's all corners and.... Ezekiel: Come on! It's not that bad. Michael: Look. I like the sword. I don't mind the wings. But I am NOT wearing the dress! Gabriel: That's not a dress. That's a robe. Michael: You're not helping him here, you know. I'm not wearing pajamas either. ------------------------------------------------------------ Denise: Uhhhnnnnnnnn........ Voice: <Awake, I see.> Denise: ..... Voice: <I told you this would be painful. You're too old for this. It takes too much to pull you out of the world you came from.> Denise: It didn't hurt him like this? Voice: <No. He didn't even feel it.> Denise: Good. Because if I found out you made him feel like this I'd have to kick your ass again. And I'm running out of feet as it is. Voice: <...laughs....> ------------------------------------------------------------- Comments are closed.
