With this story, I was just going from minute one. The positive of writing dialog only is that it flows way more quickly. I'm not second guessing adverb choice or how to make one action float into another without making my personal pronouns feel repetitive. It also helps that I went to school for screen writing where it is also bare-bones and without a lot of extraneous description, so letting dialog write the scene works.

And the ending... yeah. I love ending like that. It builds tension in the reader and without saying exactly what happens, gives you a picture of it that is otherwise very hard (to my mind at least) to explain with a line of dialog, unless it went to police dialog to be more expository.
