Write a 500 words story with only dialogues (No Tell, got it?) which include the following words/phrases: Firmament, Wabbit, Machete, Quid pro quo, and Aura. The words can be used in any order and forms (singular, plural, various parts of speech).
Keep this in mind :
- No means No, No narration. This means no narrative devices which masquerade as dialogues. No internal monologues, no fourth wall breaking etc.
- Yes, Dialogue tags are allowed. But, don’t overdo it. Ex:
Allowed: “I’m different, and I’m happy,” Calvin said
Not Allowed: “Hi, Richard,” she said, and spit out a mouthful of toothpaste. She was wearing cut-off jeans that had bizarre, frantic designs drawn on them in Magic Marker and a spandex top which revealed her intensely aerobicized midriff
- Yes, You can write dialogues under character names (Aka Screenplay style)
