FinnG: Modern gods?

PCoop: Excuse me?

FinnG: What if we write a series about gods in the modern day?

PCoop: Like Neil Gaiman’s American Gods?

FinnG: I wouldn’t know. Never heard of the book—or the author.

PCoop: I’m not sure how to follow up on this conversation. He’s one of my favorite authors. Have you been hiding under a rock?

FinnG: Shall I remind you that I have no memory? I could be his long-lost nephew, and I wouldn’t know.

PCoop: Are you British?

FinnG: I don’t know.

PCoop: Do you have a British accent?

FinnG: No. I just asked my father, and he says it’s American but can’t detect an accent.

PCoop: Then you’re not related to Neil.

PCoop: Sometimes I believe that you’re toying with me and you’re one of my brothers or cousins.

FinnG: Why would they do something like that?

PCoop: They like to play pranks on me.

FinnG: I can assure you I’m a real person—and not related to you.

PCoop: Of course. They would’ve already said, “I got you.”

FinnG: How many brothers and cousins do you have?

PCoop: I have four brothers, but the oldest wouldn’t do this to me. The three younger ones are the most likely culprits, and they like to make my life miserable.

FinnG: Any sisters or cousins?

PCoop: One sister and a bunch of cousins. Do you remember if you have a family?

FinnG: No, I don’t. It’s just my adoptive father and me.

PCoop: I wish I could say you’re lucky, but I don’t know what I would do without my crazy family.

FinnG: Even though they seem to stress you out?

PCoop: More so because they stress me out.

FinnG: That’s strange.

PCoop: Trust me, you’ll figure it out when you start a family and have your own children.

FinnG: That’s too far in the future.

PCoop: Hopefully, we’ll still be working together, and you’ll tell me all about them.
