‘You got any fags on ya mate?’
   
‘No sorry I don’t. I don’t smoke.’

‘Don’t ya? Bloody hell! Why not?’

‘Well…I-I don’t want to…addiction and all that…’

‘Ah that’s a pile of crap…’

‘Oh really? Why have you got to have another one then?’

‘Because I enjoy it…and I can’t stop thinking ‘bout them…’

‘You see?’

‘Oh I get it. You’re trying to act all wise and **** aren’t ya?’

‘No, no, not at all! I was just making a point.’

‘Well I’ll tell ya where you can shove ya point!’

‘What’s that supposed to mean?’

‘It means why don’t you take your high class suit and shiny shoes and piss of back to your mansion!’

‘I don’t live in a mansion…’

‘…then go and get your butler to make you a nice cup o’ tea and ****!’

‘I live in a council flat.’

‘Oh right…aren’t ya allowed to smoke in there or summat?’

‘No…’

‘You’re already thinking’ your better than me aren’t ya!’

‘No I…’

‘Maybe it’s racism or is it sarcasm? Can’t remember…wish I’d paid attention in school…’

‘It’s not racism! I was just -’

‘Just what eh?’

‘I’m not very comfortable talking to people…’

‘Excuses, excuses, excuses…’

‘I’ve got a phobia you see…I find it difficult…’

‘Phobia eh? Like that fear of spiders?’

‘Yes, except it’s a fear of people.’

‘You mean…you’re scared of me?’

‘Slightly…yes…’

‘Wow that’s great! So I can, like, poke ya and you’ll get terrified?’

‘I guess so - OUCH! Stop that!’

‘What if a guy came at ya with a knife or a gun?’

‘I’d probably be terrified, like anyone else would be of course.’

‘I wouldn’t be scared…I’d fight ‘em off!’

‘I bet you would.’

‘Ya see I don’t take crap from nobody. I’m like that.’

‘I see…’

‘Yeah, come on, punch me right here, right now and I’ll take it.’

‘Excuse me?’

‘Come on, just punch me in the face. I’ll be able to take it.’

‘I don’t want to…’

‘Come on, you’re chance to face that fear ya got.’

‘But…’

‘Bring it mate!’

‘Fine…’

‘OUCH! ****! THIS TWAT JUST PUNCHED ME!’

‘But you told me to!’

‘SOMEBODY GET THE POLICE! QUICK!’

‘What? Why are you doin’ that?’

‘For revenge mate! Ha! Yes! The police are coming, that woman’s just ringing them…’

‘But…’

‘You’d better run mate. People are looking and my nose is beginning to bleed.’

‘What do you want revenge for?’

‘Want me to tell ya?’

‘Yes and quickly please!’

‘You didn’t have any fags on ya. I’d start smokin’ from now on.'

Hahaha at first I wasnt so sure about this but I liked where it went. Humorous and you brought the characters alive. Great work, mate.

All right

I like where it went, and the choice not to give them names or anything (it made the reading flow smoother). Could be better, but a good start with dialogue.

Junior school playground humour, and it took me back over 45 years.

Keep up the experimenting.....never thought of direct speech only.

Pretty cool. I like the fact that you dropped all of the he saids and what not... I thought it was going to turn into Fight Club there at the end but I like that it felt like it came back to the beginning almost.

Dialogue is tough

It is not easy to tell a story with nothing but dialogue. The effort was a good one. More writers, self included, have difficulty here. Keep up the effort and you'll become a master at it. That'll give you a definite edge.

I thought it was funny. :)

That guy was mad crazy. The only mistake the Phobic made was that he didnt hit him hard enough in the face.. shoulda knocked him out then he couldn't have yelled for the police. teehhee!

i got the point that you wanted to create something with just dialogue....but i just didn't see the point in this piece. and it didn't make me laugh at all....but i guess it's just me.

Have to agree with freedom, this took me nowhere, and didn't understand the whole fag thing, nor do I understand being Homosexual at all...not thats there anything wrong with it mind you.

I never heard of that term...but it explains alot however.

This homo once ask me "mind if I have me a blow on your stick, dying for a fag friend" Needless to say I punched him out...God, now i feel bad...maybe I should look him up and give him that fag stick to blow...that didn't sound right...maybe I should just stop now.

i thought that it was pretty good. i liked how you experimented and used only dialogue, it went well with a humorous piece. a few minor grammar issues but overall it was nicely written. good job
