“That my boy was a dangerous predator I encountered when I
was a Storm Trooper.”
“Were you in the Star Wars? Is that even real?”
“Of course it is child you can’t make those things up.”
“It looks ugly”
“It’s vicious and powerful with a poisonous tail. The poison
doesn’t kill you but stops you from running away while it eats you.”
“How did you kill it?”
“It was about to eat Grandma so I was able creep up and stab
it with my lightsabre”
“You saved Grandma?”
“Sadly I did dear child, sadly I did.”

A “Dialogue-only” story this week, something I normally avoid but hopefully it works this time.

I'm guessing grandma is not anywhere nearby to hear that story. Funny story..told well.
ReplyDeleteYou never know they have eyes everywhere. Thanks for your comments Ansumani, I am glad you liked it.
DeleteHa..I guess the truth caught up with grandpa in the end of his story.
ReplyDeleteGrandpa's been caught long before :-) Thanks for reading and commenting Björn
DeletePoor Grandma. I'm sure he doesn't mean it. Cute dialogue - it works well.
ReplyDeleteTrue but what about poor Grandpa? Thanks for your comments Margaret, I am glad you liked it.
DeleteDear Subroto,
ReplyDeleteYour dialogue only story says it all. I can almost see the twinkle in Grandpa's eyes and the wide-eyed wonder in the child's. The last line made me laugh out loud.
Well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks Rochelle I am glad that worked and made you laugh.
DeleteI love the dialogue--and the grandpa. These grandpas always have the best stories. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThank you GaH, so glad you liked it.
DeleteIt would probably have choked on her anyway!

Ha! Ha! Grandpa clearly lacked the gift of hindsight. Thanks for your comments Rosey.
DeleteGrandpa certainly knows how to spin a tale. I love the last line about Grandma! Ha ha. This totally works as a dialogue only.
ReplyDeleteGrandpa is sticking to what Yoda said "truly wonderful the mind of a child is".
DeleteThanks for your comments Amy, I am glad you liked it.
Should have cut out the middle-man and just gone for her with the lightsabre. Poor predator!
ReplyDeleteShould have and then just termed it collateral damage as they do it these days. Thanks for reading and commenting Dave.
DeletePoor grandma, but even poorer grandpa. Dialogue is very well done indeed!
ReplyDeleteThanks for those words of appreciation Perry.
DeletePoor grandma, but even poorer grandpa. Dialogue is very well done indeed!
ReplyDeleteAnd you can say it again ;-)
DeleteGrandma sure would've been pissed at Luke Skywalker there.
ReplyDeletePossibly more at Yoda :-) Thanks for reading and commenting Brendan.
DeleteGreat dialogue. I guess the force was with Grandma.
ReplyDeleteLive strong and prosper :-) Thanks for reading and commenting Rae.
DeleteYes - this dialogue story worked very well - the ending is a 'gotcha'.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bobi Jo I am glad you liked it.
DeleteThe dialogue worked well, Subroto. Grandpa tells interesting stories. Grandma's probably used to his teasing by now. Well done. :) --- Suzanne
ReplyDeleteGrandpa has been living strong and prospering :-) Thanks for reading and commenting Suzanne.
