Friction

Kinda sorta considering compiling a few shorter pieces focusing on characters other than Astra. Not sure Amazon would exactly let me give it away for free so...maybe here or something as 'free fiction'? Sh*t, I almost typed 'friction'.  I think I may need to go to bed...

Creating A Dialogue

"Well, Reinbert, we made a little progress on the new novel."

"Progress is progress."

"So you've said before. Would have liked a little more-"

"We'd all like a little more, but this is what we've got."

"Right you are, little man."

"Excuse me?"

"Nothing. Say, this bagel sandwich is really good."

"Does it have bacon?"

"Well, there are bacon bits in the dressing-"

"Great. Fix me one and put on another House. This man's misanthropy fascinates me."

"Pfff, you and millions of other viewers. Startin to think I liked it better when it wasn't available on Netflix."

"You could always go back to Diablo."

"Shut yo mouth."

"Hey, nothing wrong with enjoying the fictional works of others."

"I suppose you're right. Hey, where's Astra?"

"Enh, probably off banging his pretty new wife."

"Where's Vivien?"

"Probably out enjoying what little sun the season's afforded her."

"Why aren't you with her?"

"Are you kidding me? Don't let our adventures fool you. I was always more of an indoor boy."

"Right. Another House it is."
