This is a concept that I’m working on. It’s basically a conversation that flows or is supposed to, where a couple is not actually listening when it appears they are in a way. I’m going to write a couple of these. It's 'Hills Like White Elephants' but with a different meaning and usage.
When We Talk
“What did you expect when I saw that?
Rumors are just rumors, you lie.
There’s a fifty percent chance.
I thought you were Mary?
Jesus Christ, it’s only been a year.
And you still come to this conclusion?
He said there was no other way.
I suppose you blame me.
I’ll be in the grave soon enough.
Why did you cheat on me?
I have cancer.
I’ve even considered suicide.”
