Dialogue Prompts: Apologies
1. “Did you come here to apologize?”
“Is that really what you want? A couple of tears and a hallmark card? I came with an offer.”
2. “Sometimes I almost feel sorry for you.”
“I’d suggest you get ready to feel sorry for yourself.”
3. “You never apologized.”
“Because you would never forgive.”
Dialogue Prompts: “Time…”
1. “It’s about that time.”
“You don’t have to sound so excited.”
3. “There’s no other choice. We’re out of time.”
“And who made sure of that?”
4. “The one time you choose to show up is now?”
“It sounds cruel, but this is the only time that matters.”
Where did you go????
Been a solid minute since I’ve opened Tumblr, but I’ve realized the opportune moment to start writing again isn’t planning on politely presenting itself to me.
So we’re not waiting for it any longer.
To anyone who’s known me before, give a shout in the comments to let me know you’re still around! To anyone new, welcome and it’s a pleasure to have you.
To anyone who’d like to participate, send me one word/phrase about your summer plans, keep it as general (beach, freedom, sunlight) or as specific (anniversary, graduation from circus school, new pet toad) as you would like. Add an emoji if you’d like and I will write a short piece of fiction predicting how well—or not so well—things might pan out.
Dialogue Prompts: “No going back…”
1. “What if we pretend it never happened?“
“You can do that. Me, I’d rather live the life I have than play make-believe at one I don’t.”
2. “You’re haunted by your past.”
“My past? Nah, I loved how things used to be.”
“And that is why it haunts you.”
3. “I can’t move past this.”
“That’s because you’re trying to run away from it instead.”
Dialogue Prompts: “Eye for an eye.”
1. “It’s only fair.”
“Fair flew out the window the second you walked in.”
2. “You know what they say. Eye for an eye.”
“You’re not asking for an eye.”
“No, something far more vital, I’m afraid.”
3. “You’ll pay. You’ll pay for what you’ve done.”
“And what about what you’ve done? Justice goes both ways, my friend.”
Dialogue Prompts: “Busy…”
1. “When’d you stop calling?”
“When there was no longer a chance of you picking up.”
2. “Can’t, I’m busy tonight.”
“If they called, you’d drop everything in a second.”
“Yes, but you’re not them, are you.”
3. “They say I never make time for them.”
“When are you going to tell them you don’t want to?”
Dialogue Prompts: “Afterwards…”
1. “You can’t be here. I watched you die.”
“And I returned the favor. You really don’t know where ‘here’ is, do you.”
2. “What do you think happens after?”
“If all goes well, we live long, wealthy, spoiled lives.”
3. “I never really thought this far ahead.”
“I doubt you thought out anything that has happened so far, to be honest.”
Dialogue Prompts: “Back…”
1. “Well, well, well. Look who’s back.”
“No one stopped you from calling first, you know.”
2. “So what happened? You missed me?”
“The guilt from depriving you of my presence… it was just too much.”
3. “And here I thought we’d seen the last of you.”
“Hoped? Maybe. But you never believed that for a second.”
"And here I thought I'd seen the last of you," grumbled the Jedi Master as she saw the Force Ghost of the man she had once considered her brother.
"Hoped? Maybe. But you never believed that for a second," replied Anakin, ever so sassy. Bantering with her, as if he had never betrayed her.
"My hope was valid Skywalker, I have quite a lot of trauma and over twenty years worth of it can be tied to you," snapped Grim. "Why can't you bother your kids or something? I told you I don't want to see you again. You took everything from me."
"Tiny, I'm sorry-"
"Sorry doesn't bring back countless people, sorry doesn't bring back an entire fucking planet, sorry doesn't bring back every person who's blood is on your hands, sorry doesn't fix the damage you caused for over two damned decades. You may have once been my brother but don't think for a moment I'll ever forgive you. Master Kenobi may have, your son may have, but I never will. I sacrificed everything, and because of you it was for nothing," Grim snapped quickly.
"For someone who's a Jedi Master you don't sound very Jedi-like right now," Anakin commented, it was meant as a joke.
Grim did not see it that way. "Says the Sith Lord."
"Grim-"
"Leave me alone, Skywalker. I'm still fixing the damage you caused decades ago."
The ghost was silent for a moment. Then he faded into the Force. Leaving Grim alone as she had asked.
Grim knew she should let go of all that resentment she felt towards him, but nothing brought back all that she had lost.
I sacrificed everything, and because of you it was for nothing. Absolutely love that line. Forgiveness is such a nuanced topic to write about, especially with different characters approaching it in their own way.
This is a great exploration, @thechaoticfanartist, thanks for sharing!

if writers use your prompts, would you like us to link / credit you? What would be the proper procedure you'd like to take?
You don’t have to, all the prompts here are free to use.
I’m always interested in seeing what people come up with though, so if you want to tag me I’d love to check out your work!
Dialogue Prompts: “Feel…”
1. “How do you feel?”
“Poorly. They numbed everything.”
2. “I don’t believe this. I’ve been feeling my way through the dark with this situation and all along you knew?”
“It’s not my fault you never learned to turn on the light.”
3. “Do you feel anything? Ever?”
“What difference does it make to you?”
Dialogue Prompts: “Failure…”
1. “But that means… we failed.”
“With that plan? I’m not surprised.”
2. “You’re not going to make it.”
“Then neither are you.”
3. “Failure isn’t an option. Not for me.”
“At this point, it’s really not up to you anymore.”
Dialogue Prompts: “You…”
1. “It’s you. It’s always been you.”
“And who made it this way, huh?”
2. “Why won’t you tell me who did this?”
“I think we both already know.”
3. “I’d tear down the whole sky for you.”
“I’d miss the stars.”
Dialogue Prompts: “Follow…”
1. “You said you’d follow me to the end.”
“And you said you would lead us true. Guess that makes us both liars.”
2. “Why are you following me?”
“Our destinations happen to be the same, and unlike me you know the way.”
3. “You’ll go with me?”
“We’re all going with you, just as long as you figure out where it is you’re headed.”
Dialogue Prompts: “Over…”
1. “Is it over?”
“Yeah. And so are we.”
2. “This isn’t over.”
“It could’ve been, if not for you.”
3. “You overestimate me.”
“And yet you’ve never let me down before.”
Write a piece about someone being left behind
“This way.” Her voice echoed slightly, bouncing off of the nothingness surrounding them. “You’ll see it soon.”
“I don’t—I was—”
She reached out to take the other’s hand. They found it reassuring, she’d learned.
“You’ll be okay.” They usually found that reassuring too, even though she really wasn’t sure what it meant. She tugged gently, and he followed her dumbly. A man, this time. Tall, but hunched from the busy busy days that made up his time. His eyes were hooded, and he hadn’t looked up once that day. He hadn’t seen the sun.
“What’s going on?”
“You have places to be. We’re going to them.” She came to a stop. “Do you see it?”
“I–Yes.”
“Then go on.”
He took a step forward then realized his hand was still gripping hers, much as a child clings to a stuffed bear. “Aren’t you coming?”
She shook her head. The light, the path, the door, the golden voices spilling from the stars above, inviting, calling to be joined— “I don’t see it,” she said. “It’s there for you.”
She eased her hand away. “Go on.”
He did. She didn’t know where. All she knew was that she was alone again, on the wrong side of whatever the passersbys saw. As always.
She turned to walk back and stepped right into a wall. She stumbled back.
Not a wall.
“You’ve been here awhile.”
“You haven’t.” She stepped towards the stranger cautiously. “Why didn’t I hear you come over?” She always had before, with every person who came through. They were loud, always, she could hear them from hours away. It was enough time to figure out which way they were headed so she could lead them there.
One day she’d follow them.
The newcomer smiled. “I don’t need a guide here.” She felt a hand take her own and for the first time she understood the hundreds she’d done the same for. “Can you see it?”
She nodded.
“Then go on. You’ve been waiting long enough.”
So she did. And the other stayed. She looked back once, as she left. She was the first to do so, and in all the years that followed, she was the only one who ever did.
Dialogue Prompts: “Ask…”
1. “You could, you know, ask.”
“That’s not a question I want to hear answered.”
2. “Why didn’t you ask me?”
“What could you have said if I did?”
3. “You’re asking me?”
“I’d ask anyone, and today ‘anyone’ happens to be you, yes.”
