Take a sentence from either "The Dream" or "The Artist" and write it as a 'play script' story, as in "The Black Cap"

 (The thieves climb over the wall of the mosque and into the adjoining house)
Merchant: They are so loud, I wonder they do not wake the neighbourhood! Wait, it sounds like...yes - the have woken the household. I had better not more, or they will think I am one of them. But they are calling for help. Perhaps I should go...but no, I can't afford to get involved. They are coming back this way!
(The thieves climb back over the wall and make their escape)
Merchant: It would appear it is all over. I hope they didn't take anything of value.
