On the Nineth Day of Tesseracts: An Interview With Brent Hayward

TT: What is your name?

BH: Brent Hayward

TT:Your current location?
Toronto, ON

TT: What is the name of your story in T14?
The Brief Medical Career of Fine Sam Fine, Tesseracts 14

TT: What inspired you to write your story?
Much as I would like to give some profound response, maybe about co-joined twins physically representing a dichotomy we all surely feel inside, as humans sharing the strange journey called life, it was an episode of Jerry Springer that got this story cooking.

TT: Since this collection is about Strange Canadian Stories, what is one
of the strangest things that has ever happened to you personally?

Being raised in the suburbs.

TT: What is a strange question you would like to ask other authors?
A shout out to my buddy Dennis, who has been asking me pertinent questions like this almost daily, for the past decade: Would you rather fight a toothless, de-clawed grizzly, or ten rabid squirrels?

TT: Thanks!
