“What’d I tell you, mate? Best fucking sunset in Straya!”“Too right, mate. Never seen anything like it. It’s magical.”“One hundred ninety-eight feet deep, mate. Do you know that down there in the middle of the crater, there’s acacia and eucalyptus trees twenty-six feet high?”“Crikey. That’s deep.”“Yeah, nah mate. Deep ain’t even the word. Three hundred thousand years old but wasn’t discovered until nineteen fucking forty-seven! That’s how remote this place is.”“Yeah, mate. You could die out here.”...
Outstanding reviews
Hey Chris!Oh, and adventure in the desert! I have to say that my favorite exchange within this piece was the one centered around urban dictionary because I thought it was incredibly clever and funny. Sometimes it’s difficult to understand what the next generation is all about, but the fact that you were a writer, writing about words in that exchange was absolutely wonderful. I also thought that the story ended on such a wonderfully humorous note. Nice work!!
Amanda,Thanks for the great feedback.This is part of a series of Aussie-centric tale telling. I'm still waiting for the Urban Dictionary to use my interpretations.

Too right, mate.Good on ya for sending me some great feedback.
Hi ChrisAbsolutely hilarious. I was literally cracking up reading it. Great imagery and dialogue and as with all great comedy, you smashed it with the timing.
Thanks, Helen.Much appreciated. So glad to have made you laugh.
Alien aboriginal park rangers, marvellous. I'm now away to look up the melange of new words you've presented me with ha.P.S. no one in work even understood I was insulting them by calling them Cosplayers.
Thanks, Kevin.Hilarious on the Cosplayers comment.
Haha the Aussie bantz was strong in this one. Amazing job setting a scene like that with only dialogue. A throroughly enjoyable read and very very funny.Great job
Tom,Thanks for the great feedback.So glad it tickled your funny bone.

Delbert,Thank you for more great feedback.I had to do a little research into Aussie slang, as even after 12 years here, I'm still learning new things. Glad you picked up on the irony in the changing our language commentary. As always, English continues to evolve with each generation.Thanks for reading it.
Heh :) I was wondering what people would come up with for this prompt :)An amusing story, and "suspise" - a new word! It's always a good day for a new word.The action in this one is clear, which is crucial for dialogue only. Pretty impressive, when the UFO action starts.
Thanks, Michal.Would you believe that when I tried to add "Suspise" to the Urban Dictionary, it was already there? I still submitted my version for review, along with "Kangasaur."Thanks for the great feedback.
I love your dialogue stories Chris! Great fun , brilliant writing as always
Much appreciated, Derrick.I do enjoy the dialogue writing.Cheers!
Yeah nah mate. Bloody coles commercial is ringing in my head now. Thanks! You have a gift of bringing the Australian accent to life in written form.
Thanks, Michelle.It's a new skill. I hope I don't overuse it.So glad you liked it.
This made me feel so American. I had to stop and look up words quite a few times but wound up laughing my ass off at this pair! Your back and forth dialogue is on point! Really hysterical story!
Kay,Thanks for your great feedback.It's like learning a new language. So glad to have made you laugh.
These two are so delightfully crass! I almost want to go hang out with them!! (Almost… 😂) This was great, Chris, and so funny! I don’t have the imagination to tackle the Sci-fi prompts. You do so well with them!!
Nina,Thanks so much for your great feedback.Sci-Fi is one of my big interests, but I'm still learning to write in that genre. So glad you liked it.
I love when stories can be told through pure dialogue. And a wild one at that! Very original and a great approach to the prompt. Those aliens sure must get frustrated about us taking their spots...
Thanks, AnneMarie.I do enjoy writing dialogue-only pieces.So glad you liked it.
Bad sun rising.Thanks for liking my 'Kneaded Touch'.And my 'All in a name'
Indeed.Thanks for reading it, Mary.
