Why this must be read:
Dialogue-only stories are difficult to pull off without seeming like too much of an affectation or ridiculously twee. But get a team like the Losers, a talkative dork like Jensen, and a Honduran mission gone awry, and you've got a dialogue-only story that's tense, exciting and delightful.

You can hear the actor's voices saying these words, you can see the characters doing what they're doing, and it's beautifully done.

Excerpt:
Jensen, shut up or I will cut you.

Oh come on, Roque, you know I love you. I love all of my Honduran jungle brothers. I even still love Cougar, though he tried to shoot my ears off last month. I LOVE YOU COUGAR!

"..."

See that silence? That's an 'I love you too' silence.

That's a 'Got your forehead in my crosshairs' silence.

Just a stylistic warning, though. The different characters are represented by changes in the text colour. It looks fine on a white background, but there might be issues if you have a different background colour set up on your browser. However, if you take out the text colouring, it's still fairly easy to figure out who is saying what.
