Characters: Question Mark (Q): A female human question mark in front of a curtain, let's say, just in front. She's a bit unsteady. If she were a spool of thread, she would be unraveled. Exclamation Point (EP): A human male exclamation point, forceful and decisive. Dialogue: Q: When I met you, I was uncertain. I kept my love behind a curtain. Upon our romance we did embark. But was I just a question mark? You were exciting.  You were sure. In your feeling, you were secure. You won me, never to disappoint. Cheers, my lovely exclamation point! EP: When I first met you, I was sure. My love for you was strong and pure. I'd not met a gal in creation To inspire this exclamation!  Now, I view things differently It seems you've lost your mind, you see. And so, sadly, I've lost my spark. Should I change to a question mark?
