Yeah, this was ripped from the headlines. I’m Catholic and I’ve never had any such experience with a priest, but there certainly are bad apples. Thanks for reading!
The dialogue is excellent, well scripted, and sounds real. In addition, I can tell that there is a story unfolding even as the dialogue moves on. Excellent entry.
Bam. I think this would be a little more satisfying if we actually saw the priest get stabbed or whatever, but good job nonetheless. It just seems to be a drop off ending to me, but hey, what I just said.
I guess I could have had him gurgling or something, but I thought implication was enough at the end. Plus I couldn’t describe anything… dialogue only, as per the prompt! Thanks for reading you guys.
Awesome and brutal and cathartic in this time of rampant scandal for the church. Frighteningly enough, this doesn’t seem all that far-fetched, and I won’t be surprised if it starts to happen in real life. Nice job with the twist around.
Congrats, lastsyllable! You’re the winner of the Dialogue Exclusive challenge! I felt that your entry used a combination of great dialogue and intriguing plot to create an entire story out of a conversation. Great work!
Thank you so much! I’d pretty much given up on winning because so many other entries blew me away with their awesomeness, so this is great. Thank you for creating the challenge in the first place; I really enjoyed writing for it.
