INCIDENT IN A LIFE
July 19, 2016
Clutching the magic charm so tightly in her fist that it drew blood, Belle Sklath seated herself lightly, legs tensed, ready to flee. The interviewer across the desk from her raised its head and barely glanced at Belle. The smile on the interviewer’s lips was more of an accusation of murder and a sentence to death than a welcome.
‘Belle Sklath, is it?’ uttered the interviewer.
‘That’s right, …’ Belle began before freezing, utterly unable to decide between ‘Sir’ and ‘Ma’am’ for a crucial moment before dribbling, ‘Your Readiness.’
Inwardly cursing herself, Your Readiness? YOUR READINESS? What does that even mean? IDIOT!, Belle failed to hear the next question from the interviewer and began rapidly blinking her left eye only, a nervous trait of hers dating back weeks. The silence was sinister. Belle, nearly fainting, decided it must be broken somehow. So she threw her magic charm into the interviewer’s face and, screaming hysterically, fled the room.
On the street outside, with trembling hand, she drew a line through the item at the top of her list and read the second item. She nodded. She had plenty of time to get a bite to eat before the next job interview.

BANAL INTERVIEWS WITH CELEBRITY GHOSTS – SIR ISAAC NEWTON
July 17, 2016
Loon: We are most fortunate today to have for the 3 Question Interview one Sir Isaac Newton, a man who, among many other things too numerous to be burdened with, invented gravity. Sir Isaac, would you mind awfully if I called you Ike?
Sir Isaac’s ghost: I care not what you call me with the single exception of late for tea.
Loon: Huh? Oh, I get it. Would you say it’s better to think in the morning or in the afternoon?
Sir Isaac’s ghost: Thinking is best done after tea. I find this statement to be the greatest truth I have ever known.
Loon: And finally, Ike, what is your favorite gait in a horse?
Sir Isaac’s ghost: Gate in a horse, you say? Oh, I see, gait, not gate. My egregious, not yours. I do find a nice canter to be most satisfying, although a really splendid gallop is not without its charms.
Loon: That’s all for today. Good-bye and be sure to return next week when the Lords of the 4th Dimension will gift us with another celebrity ghost to undergo the 3 Question Interview.
