A Conversation Via Text Message.

~~~

.START.

(Scene is set; Alice is walking the dog. MJ is at the Lion Hotel where he both lives and works. MJ decides to send Alice a text message. The following exchange ensues...)

MJ TO ALICE: 
     Hi, how are you both? What have you been up to?

ALICE TO MJ: 
     Hi. Well, Mother is manfully keeping going and crawling towards Saturday. I am allergy ridden and in the throes of a particularly unpleasant example of that special time of the month. We are both utterly exhausted. Tonight we shall be traipsing round and knocking on the doors of at least 35 houses in the name of Christiann Aid. How about you?

MJ TO ALICE:
     Well, so far today we have dealt with two domestics, one drug deal gone bad (arrests made), one nervous breakdown, two broken door locks and yet another guy meandering around with a crowbar.

ALICE TO MJ:
     .....So, business as usual, then.

MJ TO ALICE:
     Yep.

ALICE TO MJ:
     Whee.

MJ TO ALICE:
     Yep.

(Scene ends; with Alice and MJ both going about their business.)

.END.
