Transcription of Hannah Peaslee's recording titled 0810, Winkle Interview (Failed Attempt 1)

The recorder clicks and the tape begins to roll.

Interview start:

Hannah: "How did you know that Mythag University could help you? You see, the general perception of us has always been 'an obscure, unremarkable university.' Was it Ramona who told you?"

Winkle: "Oh no, no, it wasn't. She did lead me in, but Ramona and I never really talk. My species, has the ability of trans-spatial-temporal spiritual migration, so we know many things... Knowledge about Mythag is just one of them."

Hannah: "So it was through that 'knowledge' that you knew how to navigate the mist and find your way straight to the gate?"

Winkle: "I must admit, I didn't know about the mist. I just kept walking, and before I knew it, I was here. Speaking of the mist, do you know how terrifying that stretch of road by the entrance is? There are no streetlights, and when the mist rolls in, even the sunlight dims. And all those dark shadows..."

Hannah: "Is that why you avoid leaving your office? A fear of shadows?"

Winkle: "Shadows? No, no, you don't understand. It's not just the shadows, there's so much blackness, so many places where it could be hiding."

Hannah: "It?"

Winkle: "S-Shh! Keep your voice down! You'll bring it here--no, it's not intelligent, but why, why is it that even after I reached here, ------."

Hannah: "Miss Winkle, are you okay?"

Winkle: "-------"

Hannah: "Miss Winkle?"

Winkle: "Enough, get out! I'm done with this interview! Your shadow, your recorder, your notes- they're all black, black, black, black! Out, out, OUT!"

Hannah: "Miss Winkle-"

The tape abruptly ends.

The tape is also marked for destruction, at Winkle's request.

"Why do you appear so dark, yet so radiant...? No, never mind, just ignore my rambling."
