Dialogue 500 entry January 2024 |
“I can’t believe we’re actually living in the mountains! What a way to start a new year!” “I’ve always wanted to be a mountain man.” “That’s one of the reasons I fell in love with you.” “Eeekkkkk! Arrgghhh! Huuuaaaa!!” “What?” “A mouse! A fricking mouse! I’m outa here!” “A mouse? You’re afraid of a mouse?” “Do you know how many diseases they can harbor?” “Oh, come on.” “I’m serious!” “Some mountain man.” “We are going back to Denver.” “I moved out of the city for a reason. We agreed on this. I came here to write and to live the life we both wanted, and you can work remote.” “Well maybe I thought I wanted that life.” “Maybe I thought I wanted you, or at least wanted who you said you were.” “I guess two weeks wasn’t really a good test, was it?” “We did get married pretty quickly.” “You really want to live here? I mean, out here, in the middle of nowhere with nothing?” “It’s not nothing, really. I mean, look at the trees! Look at the snow! Look at the animals out there. And the lake.” “Look at how there’s no people…” “Is that such a bad thing?” “Heh heh. You’ve got me there. Neither one of us are exactly outgoing.” “So, what do you think? Give it a chance?” “What do you think? Give me a chance?” “I’ll set a mousetrap.” “I’ll set up your writing desk.” Word Count: 241 |
