🗂️ Jerry “Ankle Biter” Silverhand — Internal Affairs Interview

Subject: Junior Associate, Gremlin Risitas Protocol (Seasonal Temp)

Location: Folding chair, break room, one flickering light

Status: Sober. Defensive. Holding a crumpled receipt he insists is “symbolic.”


🎙️ INTERVIEW BEGINS

Jerry: State your name for the record.

Jr. Assoc:(long pause) “Raccoon.”

Jerry: Last name?

Jr. Assoc: Seasonal.


Jerry: Were you aware you were not old enough to drink?

Jr. Assoc: I wasn’t drinking. I was sampling consequences.


Jerry: Explain the ceiling tile entry.

Jr. Assoc: Door was locked. Ceiling was not. That’s not crime—that’s environmental storytelling.


Jerry: Thirty to forty bottles. Why so many?

Jr. Assoc: You ever try to find clarity in a fluorescent-lit bureaucracy? Each bottle said, “Maybe I’m the one.” They lied.


Jerry: Why the bathroom?

Jr. Assoc: Safe room. Porcelain throne. Good acoustics for regret.


Jerry: You wiped the security cameras.

Jr. Assoc: Gravity did that. I merely believed in gravity harder than most.


Jerry: Final question. Any remorse?

Jr. Assoc: Yeah. I should’ve hydrated.
