So I find myself in a punctuation quandary I've never encountered. I thought I knew dialogue punctuation inside and out, but I can't find the answer to this one.
I'm writing a scene where two characters are praying the Lord's prayer together, one saying one line, and one saying the next. So neither one has complete sentences, so it's odd to end each turn with a period. Yet, ending a line of dialogue with no tag with a comma also strikes me as wildly incorrect. Should I just not punctuate at all?
Your thoughts? This is an example of what I've got to figure out:
"Thy kingdom come"
"Thy will be done"
etc.
