Conversation is so important in the real world just as in fiction of any kind. So I decided to try my hand at a 100 word flash fiction story incorporating conversation only- well at least to the ending line. It was hard because I had to choose very specifically how to get the story across to the reader in not only a short word count but also using only a conversation between character.
*I'm sorry to those looking for more of the short story- "Bucket" I had not planned for more on it, and my posts were planned in advance.*
Cali's Note
“I fell from a tree.”

Cali's Note
“I fell from a tree.”
“What in the world were you doing in a tree Cali?”
“Sarah, I’ve been waking up falling from things.”
“So what happened?”
“I woke up falling and landed in the yard. When I got up this note was under me.”
“Oh my gosh! Do you think it’s him?”
“I know it’s him! I can’t read it, you do it. Please Sarah.”
“Alright…Cali it won’t be long now my sweet by the end of this note- your mine.”
“He’s…Oh God…he’s coming for me!”
“Its signed Darian, King of Elves.”
Sarah disappeared and the note floated down.

Wow, what a dialog! And honestly what popped in my mind when I read your title was, "Hey, lets talk." :)

How scary!
Nice piece of flash fiction/dialogue. It's amazing how well you told this story in just a hundred words.
Great job, Summer.
Wait-what?! Did Sarah get taken instead of Cali?(sorry I'm slow)
Loved this, by the way. You had be hooked from the get-go and with dialog only!

Love! ... did I catch that right though, the one who read the note disappeared? Like the note took the reader of it?
Yup the reader of the note was taken.
conversation is tough. not just making it seem realistic or too long winded but also the layout.
Oh that is challenging! Writing in covversation only. But you pulled it off nicely and what a great way to practice dialog! :)
Have a faerie nice C day!
I had my students write a dialogue only scene as a creative writing exercise. It was a lot of fun.
I've always wanted to try and write a novel that was nothing but dialogue. Never have attempted it though.
