Hack and Frack

A conversation between two journalists? :) Taken from "The Writing Coach".

Frack: How are things at your vacation facility?
Hack: We had wide-ranging weather all season. One storm dumped more than seven inches of rain on our vacation site spawning hurricane-force winds and golf-ball-sized hail. Plus an unprecedented number of uninvited visitors arrived amid the facility restoration
Frack: My, that must have decimated your plans for restoring your vacation facility and sparked burgeoning confusion as well. Or was it sort of a defining moment?
Hack: It spurred a major shift in sleeping arrangements, triggered sweeping changes in the menu and fueled a personal economic crush.
Frack: What a chilling effect. How long were you beleaguered by this worst-case scenario?
Hack: Well, The visitors left early actually but not before offending everyone including another guest from delegate-rich New York. He’s a close friend and a life-long politician who hails from New York City and has close ethnic ties.
Frack: Did the visitors leave your strife-torn facility then?
Hack: Heck no. That was just the cutting edge. Next they launched an unprovoked attack on my housekeeper, 45.
Frack: Did a heated debate ensue. Did they hurl insults at each other?
Hack: Too true. In fact, they unleashed a new round of difficulty and the whole matter escalated to what some call critical mass.
Frack: Which side blinked finally?
Hack: Well, in a surprise move our embattled housekeeper stepped down amid allegations of wrong-doing
Frack: Is the bottom line that there is a thin line between a soft and a hard line?
Hack: So it seems in the wake of the controversy there was a sharp decrease in the number of visitors to the summer facility.
Frack: A sudden downturn, a free fall or a steep decline I guess. Looks like you won a stunning victory better than a staggering defeat any day.
Hack: I’m cautiously optimistic but the same scenario can repeat itself all over again next year.
Frack: De ja vu.
