Great job with telling a story with your dialogue-only post! From the words, you created believable characters in a difficult relationship of a one-sided love. But that love is so determined and unconditional that it may just save that person's life. Best wishes in the contest!

Well. What a fascinating relationship, teased out in authentic sounding dialogue with an amusing backstory added in for spice. A really intriguing and engaging read. Glad it ended happily. Well done.

Intense and powerful commentary. I often wonder what goes through people's minds when they jump. During the pandemic a young man jumped from the apartment 5 stories above ours. He dropped past us on his way to the concrete. Not a word. Just silence and the swish of his fall. Horrible.

A powerful story with a mighty achievement.
Overall, this is a love story.
The rhythm of the narrative, the way it unfolded from the beginning, had me hooked.
I wish you all the best of luck in the contest!

I felt like the main two characters in this story have actually been in love for quite some time, but the blue text person was tired of the orange text person not seeing how they actually feel on the inside. Blue has a lot more going on in life and needs help. Orange can only do so much for blue. I loved how invested I was in this story, and I want to keep reading. It keeps rhythm well and I think it's a well paced story. Overall this was a great read. I wish you luck in this contest. - Amber :)
