Hello Stranger

I'm writing a film noir. Well, actually, my idea is that I started with the following post on Craigslist. The responses, hopefully, will become the rest of the dialogue:

Hello Stranger 29-m4m (The Juke Joint)

Hey, stranger. Our eyes met once again. You: tall, dark, mysterious. Smoking a cigarette as the air shifted and one could almost smell spring. I walked over to see if I could buy you a drink. A noise distracted me from behind and when I turned back around to finally meet you-you were gone. If, by some chance, you come across these words- say hello.

Hey - that noise behind you -- that was me, sailor.

This was the only comment I got. I didn't even get a response on craigslist. I guess the film noir was not meant to be. And rain began to fall.
