“Travelling By Balloon”
After weeks of absense, I have finally reclaimed my title as a proud InMonster Rewriter. I hope to maintain a weekly schedule with this! I have missed writing my InMon submissions.
Here’s a short, dialogue-only entry for this week’s Be Kind ReWrite Inspiration Monday, using the prompt:
Travelling by balloon
“I love you.”
“Mmm.”
“You don’t believe me?”
“I do. But I also believe you love your wife.”
“Not as much as I do you.”
“Mmm.”
“Stop that.”
“…”
“You’re beautiful.”
“…Thank you.”
“I do love you. One day, as soon as I can, I’ll leave her. You and I, we can get away from here, start afresh. Hell, we’ll just get on a yacht and travel to wherever the seas take us!”
“A balloon would be better?”
“A balloon? … Why?”
“Well, you already have the hot air covered.”

Oooo loved this!
Ha! Nice. I love her sarcasm and dry skepticism! In a twisted way, it’s very refreshing.

Ha ha – I laughed at the “hot air” reference and I liked her reality-take on life. I agree, nice take on this.
hahaha, Zing!
She’s got him sussed!
I. love. dialogue. only.
I know everyone’s moved on to the current post, but I just wanted to say this.
Why, thank you! I appreciate you stopping by.

Excellently done – clever with a healthy dose of humour. Nicely done.
I haven’t read the other 2 dialogue post examples you linked but I will eventually.
Cheers.
