‘So where is it?’ ## ‘It’s escaped again; there’s teabags all over the kitchen.’ ## ‘Again?’ ## ‘It found the bloody spare key.’ ## ‘I’m devastated, like something’s broken inside me.’ ## ‘I hid it right at the bottom of the jar.’ ##
‘There’s an invisible monster punching me in the stomach; I’m going to throw up.’ ## ‘That’s the cocktails, you’re being dramatic. Get off the floor.’ ## ‘I can’t cope with the disappointment; it’s really gone?’ ## ‘Don’t worry, the mischievous bastard’s always escaping.’ ## ‘Oh! You didn’t say.’ ## ‘Would you have come if I had?’ ## ‘Maybe, maybe not.’ ####<<<<<<<<<<<<<<#### ‘Not without your seatbelt on.’ ## ‘I’m too excited.’ ## ‘Sit back at least.’ ## ‘How far is your place?’ ## ‘It might be sleeping you know.’ ## ‘Not for long.’ ## ‘And it doesn’t like being woken up.’ ## ‘Is it big?’ ## ‘You sure you’ve never seen one before?’ ## ‘Never! I think it’s unique. Where did you say you found it?’ ## ‘I didn’t. Do you mind keeping your head inside.’ ###<<<<<<<<<<<<<<### ‘Inside? As in you never let it out?’ ## ‘It can be a bit wild.’ ## ‘I like wild. Don’t just look at it, neck it. It’s my round.’ ## ‘If I drink another I’ll drown.’ ## ‘We’ve only had three.’ ## ‘Aren’t you drunk?’ ## ‘I’m really trying but I still can’t picture it.’ ## ‘Well it’s kind of, you know, it’s hard to describe.’ ## ‘Do you have a photo?’ ## ‘The little swine wont stay still. Camera shy I think.’ ## ‘It sounds adorable.’ ## ‘I really got mad at it before I came out.’ ## ‘It must be hard, just the two of you.’ ## ‘That’s why I was sad.’ ###<<<<<<<<<<<<<<### ‘Sad face for the lonely race?’ ## ‘Are you drunk?’ ## ‘Glass of wine tipsy, Scouts Promise.’ ## ‘No one ever starts a conversation with me.’ ## ‘The blue outfit caught my eye. Charlie.’ ## 'Danny.’ ## ‘Your hand is freezing.’
‘I’ve been cold for a month.’ ## ‘It’s August?’ ##
‘Can’t shake the chill.’ ## ‘You need Sex on the Beach.’ ## ‘In Scunthorpe?’ ## ‘One large Sex on the Beach, two straws, the big curly ones please.’ ###<<<<<<<<<<<<<<### ‘Please, I’m begging you- Four weeks now and nada-
Don’t look at me like that. That didn’t count- All you’ve done is eat cheese. There was a whole ball of mozzarella in the fridge yesterday; I was going to make a pizza- Listen, I’m giving you one more chance and then I’m googling wood chippers- Knew that’d get your attention. So, red or blue?- Roll forward for yes and backwards for no- My bad, should I wear the blue one?- Was that forward or backwards, I can’t tell if you’re even looking at me- Bloody hell, just roll towards me for yes- Blue? Really, I’ve always liked the red.'

As an all dialogue story this ### format doesn't work so well. If you'd like to read the story with line breaks you can do so here: http://chrismithonline.com/2012/04/06/a-wooden-thing/

Good luck all,
