Write a {{length}}-page dialogue scene with these constraints: Characters: {{character_a}} and {{character_b}} Conflict: {{conflict}} CONSTRAINTS: - No character can speak more than 10 words at a time - One character can only ask questions - One character cannot use the word "I" - No names can be spoken aloud - The scene must end in physical action, not dialogue These constraints should feel invisible to the reader—the scene must work dramatically, not feel like an exercise. After writing: 1. Note where each constraint is honored 2. Explain what the constraints forced you to discover 3. Identify which constraint could become a character trait 4. Write how the scene would differ without constraints
