Friday Writing Prompt

Hi All! It’s Melina here.

Happy Friday. 🙂

Today, to kick off the weekend, we’ve got a writing prompt. Thank you to Jeff Salter for coming up with it!

“It’s 7:30 in the evening and the laundromat is crowded. The man looks exhausted: he has three loads and only one machine is open, so you know he’ll be there for a while. You can tell by the contents of those baskets that all the clothes are probably his.

From the way he looks around the place, you can tell he’s probably never been to a laundromat before. He eyes your bag of chips and you realize intuitively that he hasn’t had his supper yet.
As he loads his first basket into the only vacant washer, you can see he didn’t even bring any detergent.”

What’s the first bit of dialog?
And who says it?

Good luck. Feel free to share your writing in the comments. Or at least let us know how it went.

Have a great weekend!
