SNEAK PEEK
Stop by for a snippet of past works or current projects! If you see it below I'm either trying to rework it or it's a new piece under construction. So, take a read and leave a comment. I'd love to hear your thoughts. You know, for those 'writer's block' moments.
Title: Quite Frankly
CHANTELLE
Gotdammit, Frank!
FRANK
What?
CHANTELLE
Gotdammit! An expression used when one wants to emphasize a point. Makes it sparkle.
FRANK
And the point?
CHANTELLE
You’re a muthafucka…
FRANK
Your build up was weak, Chantelle.
CHANTELLE
Twenty-four hours, Frank!
FRANK
Yes, there are twenty-four hours in a day. Again, your point?
CHANTELLE
You almost hit twenty-four hours.
FRANK
And?
CHANTELLE
And?!
FRANK
And…
CHANTELLE
And!!
FRANK
A wonderful conjunction, but something should follow. See what I did there?
