Is it normal to write entire drabbles consisting only of the banter between two characters?
WW2 faberry discussing things
——————————————————-
“We found a girl dead behind one of the storage blocks yesterday.”
“Someone here, dead? How strange.”
“She hadn’t died of starvation or whatever. She had been strangled. Unathorized killing of prisoners by an SS guard is considered a rebellion to your orders. We’re going to have to find who did this.”
“You care who did it?”
“It’s mostly for the sake of following the rules. Who or why doesn’t matter - just that the guards know they must have permission to kill a prisoner.”
“Do they get permission when they beat prisoners and kill them?”
“The beating is seen as a form of encouragment for prisoners to keep working. If they die, that is of account of their own weakness.”
“… Was she raped?”
“I doubt it. If she was, we would be hunting for the one that did it more feverishly. To fornicate with a Jew is… well. It’s a crime, but it’s also just disgusting.”
“… I see.”
“… Your father. Why is he not here?”
“My father was staying in Poland at the time.”
“Oh my.”
“What?”
“There is a change he has been taken to… a particular camp.”
“If it’s any worse than this, I’ll be amazed.”
“You would be amazed, then.”
“… Why am I here?”
“Because you are a Jew.”
“No, I mean… in your office.”
“Because I get bored, and its nice to have some kind of company, even if that company is your kind…”
“‘Your kind’.”
“Think of yourself as a guinepig. Actually, no, think of yourself as a rat. Interesting, but altogether useless.”
“How can you say things like that?”
“Because it is true.”
“So all you feel for us is hate?”
“Don’t you hate me?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“There is no point in hate. Hate does nothing but destroy things.”
“You can’t just decide not to hate.”
“Yes you can. You decide to hate. It’s your job. It’s not mine.”
“Maybe I can decide not to hate my mother, or the man who lives down the road, but I can’t decide not to hate you.”
“Because it’s your job? Would this be too hard if you didn’t hate me?”
“It’s nothing like that.”
“Then what is it?”
“Do you really not understand? Your mere existence is a reason to hate you.”
“That… makes no sense…”
“It makes perfect sense. You are imposters. You are vermin, dressed up in clothes, living in houses, pretending to be human. It’s wrong.”
“… Do you really believe that?”
“Yes.”
“And you believe in God?”
“I do.”
“If your God is real and that is what you believe, then this world is doomed.”
“Only the part that is meant to be.”
