Night Shift at the Precinct

The same words can take any end mark. Read the scene to hear what the speaker means, then send the case to the right officer.

It is a quiet night at the Punctuation Department. Then the wire lights up. Every sentence that comes in is missing the one thing that ends it, and here is the catch: the very same sentence can need a period, a question mark, or an exclamation mark. It all depends on what the speaker means. Read the scene first.

Officer Period
.
A statement. Just the facts.
Detective Question Mark
?
A question. It asks.
Sergeant Exclamation Mark
!
Strong feeling. Said with force.
Sergeant Exclamation Mark: Same words, different feeling, different mark! That is the whole job tonight. Read the scene, then call it.
