  • The First Interview With the Arsenic Aliens
    by Edith Zimmerman

    HP: OMG tell me about yourself!

    AA: Welllllll, I've been living in Mono Lake forever basically.

    HP: Wait like literally forever?

    AA: Hahaha, ummm.

    HP: [Screaming]

    AA: Hahahaha, LOLOLOL.

    HP: You were joking?

    AA: No, I was for real. We have actually been alive forever.

    HP: Um, let me wrap my head around that. Brb in an eternity!

    AA: Don't even worry about it.

    HP: Anyway, I guess I'll just move on to my next question. How would you describe yourself, physically?

    AA: Well, we're like … this sort of fizzy pool.

    HP: Are you purple? I feel like you should be purple.

    AA: We ARE purple!

    HP: Ahh, I knew it! I love purple. It's like girly but not overly girly. Have you ever read or seen Arsenic & Old Lace?

    AA: Nope!

    HP: It's about old ladies who kill people with … arsenic. Have you ever killed anyone?

    AA: Haha, next question please!

    HP: LOL.

    AA: Next question, though.

    HP: Hahahaha [frantic laughter]. OK, let's see. What planet are you from?

    [AA rolls its eyes, like, “are you serious”]

    HP: Sorry! Hahaha [inward scream] I guess I just had to ask! Anyway, did I leave anything out?

    AA: Are you going to ask me about Justin Bieber?

    HP: I wasn't but, I guess? What do you think of Justin Bieber?

    [AA shakes its head, like “what ACTUALLY is wrong with you”]

    AA: [Icily] I was joking.

    HP: LOL, I wasn't expecting you to be so funny, I guess!!!!!!!!!!

    AA: There's an awful lot you don't know, I guess.

    HP: Oh, totally, I'm incredibly stupid, I'm no threat to anyone, I'm like literally brain dead. Anyway, I'm going to head back to the offfiiiiiiice!!!!!

    AA: Don't you want to touch me real quick?

    HP: Noooo thank you, but seriously thank you so much, this was amazing, yay! By-eee!!
