How to write an interruption in a story in both dialogue and narration?
0
Is this how you write one in a narration?
- Anchors were chained to his feet and they shook in desperation to run, run, run- just fucking run-
It's okay, you're going to be okay. You've done this before, it's normal- you can do this. You're used to it, get used to it- mom's fine. She's fine so come on come on come on come on come on- come on please—
And in a dialogue?
- "Come on- yes-"
"No jonah," Ladely said in a deadpan manner.
Or is there any other way to write it?

It's not really clear to me what the question is. Are you looking, for example, for what type of punctuation should be used here?

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because its proper home is Writing (but Writers is in beta so we can’t automatically migrate it there).

There are hundreds of ways of writing things. Your question is far too broad. As well as subjective. And that's assuming my guess about what you're asking is correct.
