Today I’m interviewing Simon, the soon-to-be hero of Walking Through Fire. Simon lived an interesting life. He was born in Scotland in 1784 and died when he was twenty-five. Since then, he’s been a ghost haunting his Highland Manor for a little over two hundred years.
Paranormal Life: Welcome, Simon. Please let me extend my condolences on your tragic passing. I hope you find peace soon.
Simon MacKay: Aye, well, I’m working on that…for a while…
PL: Don’t worry. I’m sure your time is coming soon. I hope this lighthearted interview will send some cheer your way. I won’t be asking typical questions. I’m shaking things up and going all James Lipton on you--
SM: James, who?
B: Oh right, you probably don’t watch much television. James Lipton is a man known for interviewing actors with irreverent questions on Inside The Actor’s Studio. No worries, just say the first things that pop into your head.
SM: All right. Fire away.
PL: What’s your favorite curse word?
SM: Bloody Bastard.
PL: If you had a free day with no responsibilities and your only mission was to enjoy yourself, what would you do?
SM: I don’t think I ever had a day without responsibilities…I’d…relax? Go for a ride, read a book. Learn to cook.
PL: Are you lucky?
SM: No. <scowls> I’m cursed, aye?
PL: Tell me about your best friend.
SM: <grins> Byron and Dougal Sinclair, twins. They lived on the property bordering mine. We grew up together. Great mates. We were constantly getting in trouble together.
PL: Describe your ideal date.
SM: Anything. As long as it was with the woman I love.
PL: If you could spend the day with someone you admire (living, dead, or imaginary), who would you pick?
SM: My da, Murdoc MacKay. I’d ask him why the hell I’m still here.
PL: What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
SM: Lifeguard.
PL: If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
SM: You’re forgiven.
PL: And finally, what motto do you live your life by?
SM: Bi Tren.
