Rodak's Writings: The Interview: the Conclusion - a Flash Fiction


INTERVIEW: the Conclusion -- a flash fiction

Interviewer: Ivanka, I want to thank you for your candor in submitting to this interview and close by asking the question that's on the minds of people the world over: It is clear that your father has spun out of control. That being so obviously the case, why are not his wife, his sons, or you--his cherished daughter--doing some kind of intervention to save your father from himself, and our nation from further humiliation on the global stage in the process?

Ivanka: That's easy. Because he would have us all killed.

Interviewer: Oh my God! You can't mean that! Melania and Eric, sure. Don Jr. maybe. But surely not you, Ivanka!

Ivanka: [long pause] You don't get it. Especially me.
