Writing Prompt Wednesday #123

“Give students two completely unrelated phrases, then have them write twelve lines of dialogue connecting the two” by @oliviagatwood on Instagram, suggested by @aly_son.c

“I called, but the line was disconnected.”
“So you thought that you should just…show up?!”
“I know that things between us have been tough—”
“Tough?!”
“But I was making a recipe—”
“Ah, so you haven’t given up on that yet.”
“Can you please just not be such a dick for once? I thought that I got everything but I forgot saffron—”
“Pity.”
“—and the stores are closed—”
“I don’t see how that’s my problem.”
“And I was just wondering if you had any saffron that I could borrow.”
“No. I don’t. Can you go now?”
“Oh come on. You really expect me to believe that you don’t have any saffron left over from when we lived together? I used it in, like, every recipe.”
“The last time I had saffron in my house was back when I still loved you.”
