Can you to do something for me Ruthie?
Sure, anythingā¦ what do you need?
Can you to get me a lawyerā¦ quickly?
Why? Whatās happened? Look out, if someoneās dared hurt you!
Settle down! Iām not hurt, yetā¦
Well, what do you need a lawyer for? Donāt fretā¦
Iāve been arrested for murder
What! Thatās absurd! You wouldnāt hurt a fly!
Well actually, I didā¦ and much worse than a fly!
There must be some mistakeā¦ youāre so wonderfulā¦ it makes no sense
So you say ā but, like anyone ā I have my momentsā¦
Okay, Iāll admitā¦ maybe once or twice, youāve been less than perfect!
Do you want to hear my story or not?
If you insistā¦
Yesā¦ I really must persist!
I have noticed you havenāt been yourself lately
You know how Bennyās been pestering me greatly?
WHAT!!! That creep! What did he do?
He just wouldnāt leave me aloneā¦ he came around home
ļ»æSo you killed him? Good! He was asking for it!
I shoved him away ā he fell backwards. Hit his headā¦
ļ»æI still say he had it comingā¦
He was gone in the blink of my eye
Donāt worry ā we can sort this ā Iām coming over, Iāll get rid of his body
Too late! I called 000ā¦ he couldnāt be saved
Well that was obvious from the moment you first laid eyes on him!
Iām at the Police Station ā just find me a good lawyer
Donāt worryā¦ youāll be alrightā¦ as you always are
I feel so badā¦ how could I kill him?
Youāve done nothing wrong ā youāll get off
Weāll seeā¦ my chances look slim

I was going through the stories I wrote way before Vocal and found a series Iād penned on the American movie industry. I covered the economics of making and distributing movies, the ways the movie industry responds to modern challenges such as MeToo movement and the streaming technologies, and other topics, including some movie reviews.

Great going Angie. Loved it.
Wow. Great dialogue poem! ššā¤ļø
Great dialogue poem, Angie! So conversational but with such a dramatic topic of conversation!
Oh my. Manslaughter perhaps?
Oh no, I really hope they can get a good lawyer and that it would be classified as self defense. Really loved your take on this!
Despite the unsettling revelation, there is still a hint of support and willingness to listen, the dialogue leaves us curious to hear the accused character's story, adding suspense and engaging the reader's interest, thank you very much for sharing, love your works, hope to read more, subscribed.
Angie I love this conversation between friends, because without loyal friends you really don't have much!! Too bad one of them will be going away for a while.... š
Sounds like this guy was a liability alive or dead! Great work, DK!
Oh no, fingers crossed!!! We all need loyal friends....nice job.
