Challenge
A Quartet
our challenge for you is to write dialogue - four characters - each has one line only - those four "lines" can be as long as you like - but should tell a story from beginning to end in just those four lines; from only those four characters
Officer One: “They found her under the bridge with a red bow tied around her ankle.”
Woman: “Does the bow carry any significance?”
Officer Two: “Not that we are aware of. We were hoping it might mean something to one of you.”
Man: “Our daughter was a bit of a runaway. That is, I mean to say, we really didn’t see very much of her. She never shared much personal information. We have failed her. I can’t believe this has happened. The red flags were there. We just didn’t see them. Now, our little girl is a corpse and the red bow is a memorial to our oversights.”
