Overheard in a Café

Create a dialogue between two characters based on an interesting conversation you’ve overheard in public.

We sometimes pick up bits of peculiar and intriguing conversations when we’re out, around colleagues or strangers. This prompt tasks you to use such an exchange as inspiration for your own dialogue, which might introduce unexpected plot twist or reveal depth to a character. Depending on the conversation, it will allow you to explore different settings, subjects, emotions, or conflicts which can become the focal point of your storylines.
