The following lines have been extracted from one side of an actual cell phone conversation:
“No, don’t worry about it.”
“Mm hmm.”
“Don’t worry about it, everything’s fine.”
To enter the competition for Prompt One, write a short story that incorporates all
three lines above under the following conditions:
- The three lines must appear in your story in the same order that they appear above.
- The three lines must occur within a single interaction (though they need not be
directly adjacent to one another nor must they be uttered by a single character).
Furthermore, this interaction is required to involve some sort of mobile communication
device.
- The lines cannot be altered beyond simple dialectical (e.g., nah instead of no)
or superficial (e.g., do not instead of don’t) changes.
Good luck.
