An interview with Gluic, by Anthony G. Wedgeworth, author of the Altered Creatures fantasy adventures.
I sat down in my studio this morning and started making a list of all the characters I would like to interview. As I did so, I was startled when I looked up to see Gluic sitting across from me, waiting patiently for me to acknowledge her. For a little old lady, she is obviously an agile num.
AGW (Anthony G. Wedgeworth): “Gluic. What an honor.”
Gluic: “Good morning, dear. How’s your writing going?”
AGW: “Fine. Thank you. Why are you here?”
Gluic: “I’m here for my interview.”
AGW: “How did you know I was planning on asking you for an interview? In fact, I just added you to my list.”
Gluic: “I know, dear.”
AGW: “How did you know, exactly? Have you been reading my Blog interviews?”
Gluic: “No, Dear. I don’t read blogs.”
AGW: “So, you just knew? I see. Isn’t that part of your special gifts? You have the ability to foresee events before they happen. I think many in your realm call those with such powers as a Channel.”
Gluic: “Is that a question or a statement?”
AGW: “Um…I guess it was a statement that I was hoping you would confirm to be true.”
Gluic: “That’s nice, dear. But perhaps you should stick with fantasy writing instead of interviews.”
AGW: “Perhaps you’re right. But before we leave this subject, can you give our audience a display of your Channel abilities to predict the future?”
Gluic: “Wear your seatbelt.”
AGW: “I think that’s more of general advice for everyone. Valid as your suggestion is, it’s not much of a prediction.”
Gluic: Leaning in towards me, she smiled. “No, dear. You, not everyone. You need to make sure you’re wearing your seatbelt the very next time you drive out of town.”
…
Not that I believe in such powers, but I have cancelled all future conferences and book signing.
