Interview With A Wood Goblin

Wood Goblin

As those who have been following my regular “Goblin Tales For Adults” updates on my blog will be aware, I have been charged with chronicling a series of goblin tales.

My guest today is none other than Globular Van Der Graff, a wood goblin of great repute, and the source of the tales.

2.30 am, Saturday 10th September 2011

Jack – Good morning Globular

Globular – Good morning Jack, please call me Glob

Jack – Thank you. I was wondering if you would mind answering a few questions for our readers?

Globular – Of course, I’s be happy to

Jack – May I ask why you chose me to be your chronicler?

Globular – well, I’s chose yer cos yer has an opens mind, unlike most other humans does, plus I’s knew yer human ancestor Olin

Jack – you mean I am related to Olin son of queen Morag – incredible! To get back to my reason for requesting this interview, I have just finished writing down the twentieth tale which you dictated to me two nights ago Glob, how many more do you intend to dictate?

Globular – I’s has ten more that immediately spring to minds yung human

Jack – I see. Well in that case Glob, may I ask why you insist on visiting me here in my home at such a strange hour?

Globular – Since humans tooks over the world, we’s don’t feels safe in daylights I’s afraid to says Jack

Jack – But we’re not all evil are we?

Globular – Aye, that’s true enuff lad. But stills, being as I’s so small, I ain’t takin no chances on bein discovered.

Jack – How old are you and how many of your ancient kind are left in the world Glob?

At this point in the interview, Glob fell silent for a long time, gave me a strange look, and vanished. I do hope he will return because he still has many tales to dictate to me. Clearly, I have upset him. Maybe I went a step too far by asking him his age, I cannot tell.

Hopefully, I will have more to report later.
