– IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ROOM –
(TWO PRIMARY CHARACTERS IN THE DECEIVED SERIES)
MONTY: Bro, I’m so honored and excited to do this interview of you, Joshua aka Josh, my best friend, first a Philadelphian hero, and now an international phenomenon!
JOSHUA: I’m excited as well. Remember, no spoilers, Monty.
MONTY: Of course not…I got this! Dude, I love this presidential room. You and Lauren use this place to meet with world and government officials, right?
JOSHUA: Yes. This is an historic inn that we took over right after The Great Shout. We use it to lobby for needed resources and new Protocols to help fight against our third and hopefully final evil threat.
MONTY: Is that an old antique coffee grinder?
JOSHUA: Correct, and that’s a great discussion piece. We also have tea from one of our tea farm partners, and each tea block receives the emperor’s seal for confirmed quality. Last is the wine station, some bottles are from the newly formed state North California that was created when it split in half and broke apart from South California after Protocol-11.
MONTY: Speaking of Protocol-11, how do you feel after completing another epic journey, first saving our Philadelphia neighborhood and now the world?
JOSHUA: We still have another evil to fight. It’s not over.>
MONTY: It’s not. So, readers want to know, how are you and Lauren? Some events happened that could have ended the two of you, both your relationship and life’s existence.
JOSHUA: My soul loves her soul, and she proved her soul loves mine. Our love is not only biblical, but supernatural. It “…always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always preserves.” Now, we both made mistakes, but we never left each other, never stopped protecting each other, never broke our promises to each other, and would never speak badly about the other, no matter how hard it got.
MONTY: Man, that’s amazing and real. Honestly, I simultaneously love and envy that, and many of our readers do too. You remember that last girl I dated? She turned out to be so evil, so manipulating, could never keep her promises, and always got caught in lies. She would even…
JOSHUA: Monty…
MONTY: Sorry, bro. I got carried away. Okay, you called your relationship with Lauren supernatural. Why?
JOSHUA: For what we’re up against, it must be. The moment we met, we knew that we were greater together than apart, and we could not let anyone else have any part of our heart, mind, or body. It wasn’t until The Great Shout journey that we realized how important this was to tap into our supernatural gifts to fight against the evilest threats.
MONTY: After dealing with so many evil people and demonic forces, you appear to be an expert now. Asking for someone else, how can you tell the difference between a person that just has bad intentions versus someone who is truly possessed by a demon?
JOSHUA: Great question. During the past couple of months, I have spent a lot of time with priests and certified exorcists. I learned there are three signs that can help you tell the difference. The first two could mean nothing, but the last one is always the ultimate sign you are dealing with a demon.
MONTY: This is interesting, Josh. What are they?
JOSHUA: Number one, demons love comfortability. Contrary to movies, most love to reside quietly in a human host and not be bothered as long as possible…years even decades. So, anything that challenges that is a threat. They will immediately force or deceive their host to avoid anyone or any situation that could evict them. Number two, they are always attempting to deceive or manipulate people and situations, even when not necessary.
MONTY: Yupper! Just like my ex-girlfriend! She had the heart of an angel, but the soul of the devil…
JOSHUA: Monty!
MONTY: Bro, I did it again, didn’t I? My apologies.
JOSHUA: No worries, dude. If they read the series, they already know ha ha!
MONTY: Okay, what’s the third and ultimate demonic x-ray infrared evil-dead night-vision glasses test?
JOSHUA: When it comes to things of spiritual and biblical knowledge, demons just know. It is their program to know certain things about God, the end times, and about Heaven and Hell. And when you ask them about any of these things, if the demon responds from within the person, there is no pause for thought, no hesitation. They immediately answer without any voice inflection or tone change, and in a very detailed manner and it is accurate. Then, when you ask them how they know all of this, it can be very scary to hear and witness because that’s when the demonic force reveals itself, and most times with anger even violence.
MONTY: That sounds very terrifying. So, with those demonic forces, what is at stake in The Great Shout? What are GSPs or Global Survival Protocols?
JOSHUA: GSPs refer to the term used by our world governments to describe pre-negotiated treaties and conditions between countries in the event of specific world threats and disasters. If the readers would like an easy and in-plain-sight view of a possible GSP component, they should go online and ask Ai what are some conspiracy theories regarding the need for so many data centers or why country borders, barriers, and resources, even within national parks, are more important than ever?
MONTY: We definitely went into the truth versus conspiracy theory realm on this one, right Josh? How about the GSP number eleven, also known as Protocol-11? Any details you want to give to the audience on this one who have not read The Great Shout, yet?
JOSHUA: Sorry…they must read that novel to find out.
MONTY: Well, Josh. Thank you for trusting God and giving all of us a reason to have hope that everything has a meaning and to never give up on our purpose or finding it.
JOSHUA: Well said, Monty. I look forward to an even greater purpose and power solving this next evil mystery. We’re going to need it.
MONTY: Fah sho…Oops, I mean, indeed!
