dialogue. **this is a call to the color blind**

This isn't like any other contest you will ever see on allpoetry.

&&and if it is, please, don't tell me. (: I was quite excited when this idea popped into my head at 3:46 AM last night. **Last night was a terrible night sleep**


Soooo....what I want is straight dialogue.

Give me the most amazing DIALOGUE you can come up with.
When I say dialogue, I mean people speaking at each other. I don't care how many and I don't care if you add on --," as he walked out the door.

Example.
"I love you." Diane whispered.
"I wish I did, too." He muttered, ***walking out the door**.

Yes, you can add whats in the asterisk. &haha, I know that was the most cliche dialogue in the world. Please be more creative than that.

Does it make sense? Please, leave a comment below (vvv) if it doesn't. (:

Rules
-No line limit, but no novels, please please.
-No suicide.
-No adult. I'm sorry, I can't read it. (:
-No sticky keys
-No bashing religion or other poets.
-Space out authors name in an like dis. s t e p b y s t e p

If you need a prompt, reserve a spot saying 'I need a prompt". (: Haha. I'll give you one.

Be creative. Use metaphors.

ONLY DIALOGUE!

Thank you.

          yes, but i won't kill you if you add like a sentence or two.
          the whole point is to challenge yourself into making something amazing with just people talking. (:

      basically all dialogue.

      if you want to add poetry, have them reading it out of a book or something (:
