Unexpected Visitor by Heather Knight Dialogue Only Writing Contest contest entry |
- Who are you? Don't shake me like that! I was about to die of fright.
- Follow me. - But I was sleeping. Why don't you come back later. It's just five thirty. - Don't be lazy. It's time to go. I'm not the one who decides. I just follow orders. - Will you at least let me get changed? I need a coat. It's cold outside. Look at all that snow. - Can you stop making excuses? You don't need a coat. - Gloves? They have to be here somewhere. Let me look for them. - You're all the same. I don't understand your reticence. You knew I was coming. - Yes, I knew. I didn't expect you today though. - Well, you also knew that I don't usually call to announce my visits. You must always be ready. - You're not as scary-looking as I had imagined. But I'd always been told you were a man. - That's because you live in a chauvinistic world. - You're very pale. - There isn't a lot of sunshine where I live. - I like your hair. I wish mine was that long. - I'm afraid you won't have time to grow it now. - Why don't you grant me a few more years? I'd like to meet my grandchildren. - Thou art a procrastinator, my Lady. - Are you mocking me? - Not really. Just making conversation. I'm already used to this. All humans are the same. Let's go. - Can I at least say goodbye to my husband? - Just kiss him on the cheek, but be careful not to wake him up. - I'm not ready for this. - Nobody is ever ready. - I'm only forty-eight. - The one before you was twelve. - How can you be so cruel? Have you got no feelings? - No. If I did, I wouldn't be a good candidate for this job. - Could you just leave this once? - No. I'm not going to repeat it again. Let's go. - Okay, okay, I'm coming. There's no need to pull my hair. Do you at least know where you are taking me? - Yes, but I don't want to tell you. Saint Peter will inform you in a couple of minutes. As soon as we reach the Pearly Gates.
