It’s a cruise Doris a cruise.
I’m not sure I like that idea.
It was your idea. You said I’m sick of sitting around in our hotel, lets do a cruise.
It was a figure of speech.
Like a metaphor?
Yes.
Meaning?
Meaning you are a rather boring person.
Well! You are showing your true colours.
Well you asked.
So you think I’m boring?
Insufferably so.
I was looking forward to this cruise.
The boat isn’t big enough.
What were you expecting? The Queen Mary?
What if a storm blows up?
It’s a river cruise the worst thing might be seeing a small log.
I’ll go only because the sign says no refunds.
Thank you I know you’ll enjoy it.
Well you sit the other end of the boat and I will.
What if I fall in?
I’ll wave as we cruise by.

Just when I thought it was safe to get back in the water. 🙂
Ha, you never know do you….thanks for stopping by Ann.
Lovely!! agot a chuckle out of this one. The only cruise I went on was an afternoon to St Bart`s on a huge catamaran…my bf could hve pushed me over alright..and I couldn`t go in the cabin, I felt seasick…just fine above water on the hulls.
Yes we all have our cruise stories. Thankfully are all good, so far at least.
If I were him I might be tempted to push her in. Haha! Good story! It made me laugh.
Thank you Joy, not very pleasant is she.
Another great entry using only dialogue! Your characters and their conflicts shine through. Doris is so cheeky 😛
Thanks Izzy, appreciate you stopping by.
Cute! Nice use of dialogue to tell the story.
Thanks so much, appreciate you stopping by.
So glad I waiting till morning to read this, Michael. I love the dialogue between these two. Actually sounds familiar!
Shhhhh……don’t say that as it’s a fictional story……I’d hate to think it might have any truth in it…
Fiction comes from non fiction 😀
Yes, scary isn’t it….lol
Doris sounds like an awful person but the last line made me laugh. I bet she would, too…
Thanks Sonya I agree she’s not very nice at all. Thanks for stopping by.
Oh Doris… What a pain the … you are. Like others, great dialogue Michael.
Thank you so much you are very kind Jenny.
Welcome mate
LOL that was great. I think I’d have thrown her overboard and not waited to see if she fell overboard. I loved the last line :DI
Thank you Lyn. Yes I think she may have been thrown over a number of times.
I sure as heck wouldn’t get on that cruise. I can’t swim!
Its ok RoSy I’d make sure you were wearing floaties.
Thanks for watching my back. 👍
I love the dialogue and the humor of this story. Sometimes a “no refund policy” can prove to be beneficial. She gets to make up her mind if she likes the cruise…AFTER she actually goes.
Yes that’s right, thanks luckyjc for stopping by and writing that comment.
Silence fell as the lifeboats were scrambled to attempt the rescue to poor neurotic Doris ~ There is room for more here Michael ~ Great dialogue 🙂
Thanks so much John…you are right there is always room for more…
Haha, I actually love this. Such a fun story and it tickled my funny bone, especially the last two lines 😀
Thanks so much Ameena for your lovely comment. Please call by again.
A very amusing and telling conversation. Doris has already made up her mind not to enjoy the cruise. Well done with the dialogue and an excellent last line. 🙂
Thanks Millie glad you found it amusing. Hope you enjoy your weekend….
That’s hilarious. Love the ending. Talk about a grumpy bum!
Thanks so much for your comment glad I could give you a laugh.
I liked how you used italics to distinguish the characters dialogue. And I’m so glad you said Doris to distinguish the male from the female without using dialogue tags.
Thank you so much for your comment.
Ha! This is hilarious! I love the back and forth between the two characters. Nicely done!
Thanks Nortina, lovely to have you drop by.
