| This interview was conducted in a filthy street in Taipei on Oct. 3, 1999. The mosquito being interviewed, a 3 mm creature, preferred to remain anonymous. |
Q: How many people have you sucked? A: I never count. Q: What do you like most about sucking? A: It's a sort of intimacy, I suppose. Q: Don't you worry about disease? A: Not really. Insect life is short. Q: So tell me a bit about your background. A: I grew up in an industrial sewer and wriggled around for a while, then popped out of the water in August. And hey, here I am! Q: When did you get your wings? A: I'm no angel. When I left the water, they were just there. Q: What's your goal in life? A: Survival. Sometimes I feel like I'm just part of a giant food chain and don't really matter. However, life has its moments of satisfaction: I have slurped some very rich blood. Q: How do you handle humans? A: Simple. Keep away during the day, then attack at night. Darkness is my ally. Q: Do you feel optimistic about the future? A: Yes and no. Life is dark and savage, but insects stay on top. Why? Ironically, because we're at the bottom. It's an interesting paradox. Q: Any final message? A: Even though life sucks, don't worry. Stick to your point. And don't get trapped in any webs. Finally, watch out for bird-brains - they're always swooping down and trying to scoop up more than they can handle.
