You have done an excellent job alternating the dog sometimes I find it difficult to keep it straight as to who the character is but you have done an excellent job here. This is a good example of foreshadowing: "From outside, Brad called to let Tony know he was running an errand." Good job

That's the shot, you had me going there for awhile, of Sherrif Brock Daniels is Rusty's adoptive shadow, and Cody is your adopted namesake. I think we write v sine things from personal experience and this is yours. Beautifully written Brett, blessings Roy

    Will leave it at that. Most of the time your reviews are spot on. But, this one completely lost me.

Truly dialogue only - not even a tag, nothing outside of quotes!
At first I was annoyed with all of Cody's constant interruptions. Then I realized that it was all dialogue, giving readers a break from what might have been a monotonous monologue.
Good luck and best wishes.

I can tell that this is going to be a dope book. For,
you have added the right and exact type of substance,
that makes the viewers and readers run to get the popcorn.
Cause they know it's going to be hot and filled with twist and
turns. Nice. Keep Writing. And stay connected

It's hard to writer a whole story just writing dialog, but it's almost like sitting down and being the observer of the conversation. Thanks for sharing another fine chapter.

This is a well-written episode, Brett. You've told an interesting tale, using only dialogue, which seems very natural. Good luck in the contest.

Just one small typo:
"It was another balmy morning when I received the call in my office(.) Brad had seemingly evaporated with no warning."

I enjoyed your dialogue only story. You did an excellent job. I didn't find a single error to tell you about. It was active and held my interest until the last word. Have a good evening. Shirley

Hey you did a good here. The setting was described within the dialogue, and who was speaking was never an issue.

Just a couple of typos:

Brad had seemingly epavorated (evaporated) with no warning.

for an emergency gallbladder surgury. (surgery)

That post really put Robertson in a quandry (quandary)

name over near Fort Worth. Apparantly, (Apparently) he couldn't

Easy repairs, and I wish you luck with the voters.

I have done many things of which I am not particularly proud. However, I have never given any thought to living under an assumed name in another town. I am a firm believer in facing up to ones actions whether brave or disgraceful.

This is an story for the excellent dialogue only contest. I didn't even realize it had no tags I like that you indicated where the story took place by Cody mentioned that he wanted to change positions on the couch.
