Character Conversations with their Younger Selves. -Ethan

#ethanfost

Copied from Goodreads. :) Older E: So... how's it going, man? Younger E: Alright, I guess. I don't really know what to say. Older E: It's cool. I'm the one whose supposed to be asking all the questions. Um... (ruffles through some papers). How about telling me where you go to school? Younger E: Seriously? Man, I feel like I'm back in kindergarten or somethin'. Older E: Listen, (strains a smile) I have to ask the questions on this paper, and that's exactly what I'm going to do. Can you just bear with me? Yes? Okay, good. Now can I get an answer, please? Younger E: (grumbles) Fine. I go to Warren's Refuge of Neglected Gifted, or something like that. The name's so long. Older E: Why do you think they added the word 'neglected' in the title? And does that mean anything to you? Younger E: I don't care for it one way or another... You know what? Forget it. I'll just tell the truth. I freakin' hate that it's in the title. Neglected by who, exactly? They never told us and it really makes me mad. Older E: Why? Younger E: Wouldn't it upset you? You have no idea why you're there, and nobodies telling you the truth. Sometimes it feels like I'm losing my mind.
