STORY STARTER

"How can you say that?!"

Write a dialogue between two characters having an argument. As well as speech, try to think about the tones, gestures and actions that people arguing would display.

Psychotic

“How can you say that?!” I scream. My yell echoes through the white room. I could see nobody in the room but voices continued to flood my brain. I dig my fingernails into my scalp.”STOPPPP!” I fall to my knees and let out a sob. I’m alone.

I look around the white room that I lie in. There’s not much to it. White, perfect, straight lines. There was nothing inside the room but me.

“Your going insane.” A voice whispers a sort of sing-song way. I shut my eyes and breathe. They’re not real, they’re not real. “Don’t kid yourself.” Another one whispers through my head. “ We are real.” Another one continues.

“Aghhhhh.” I yell again. I clutch my knees close to my chest. I move my eyes around as if I’m looking for something. Or somebody. But I continue to see nothing. My head is beaming with pain. I massaged my temple but nothing worked.

Suddenly another voice crept up behind me.” They all think your crazy.” I jolt sideways to find nobody there.

“ I am not crazy!” I yell back at the invisible being.

“Don’t you understand?” One asks me.

“Your talking to nobody.” Another continues.

“Agghhh!” I scream and kick the wall hard. My foot was overtaken with pain.

I collapse again into a hard sob. “What is happening to me??” I cry. I wipe away the tears falling from my face but they keep coming. “Please somebody help me.”

Silence.

I’m trapped. I’m trapped in an endless void and I can’t escape. This pit of nothingness is killing me. Eating me up from the inside out. This mess of insanity that I got myself into. I dug a whole too deep and I can’t jump out.

I squeeze my legs against my chest and hold them there. I rest my head on my knees.

“Your not crazy.” I mutter,” your not crazy.”
