A Shot in the Dark?

They're like tracers.

Each month, I send out emails to celebrities in which I, very politely, ask for exclusive interviews. Some of them are super-famous like HR Giger, Stan Lee and Stephen King, and some of them are just plain weird.

Like real tracers, they light up the dark and arc through the air with a sense purpose. But like real tracers, they do not guarantee a kill.

I just like to try my luck.

I just sent tracers out to Amir Muhammad, a man who I consider to be my generation's Great Malaysian Writer.

For once, I'm nervous.

If he does say Yes, it will at least console the fanboy in me that I did something right along the way to land an interview with one of my own literary heroes.

Rock 'n' roll, motherfuckers.
