The Diary of Fliss Flack Fliss (Lucy Gunn)


I have a friend called Robert who died in a boating accident seventeen years ago

We often meet up for coffee

 

I have a pet Dodo which I have called Christine although its birth name is David

 

My father is blind

He was once a world famous artist

I still pose for him

 

Yesterday I purchased a photograph of a young couple and their weeping child

It appeared to have been taken in Portugal

It had rained heavily on the day of my purchase and the fields near to my shining home were flooded

This presented me with a problem so I removed my shoes and socks and began wading through the flooded areas

I had completed about a third of my journey when a sudden gust of wind blew the photograph from my grasp

Instantly I dived into the waters to rescue the child safe in the knowledge that both her parents were strong swimmers

 

In my spare time I paint dogs pink

 

I was the only girl on the train this morning but I was not worried as a seagull had eaten the station

 

I have an imaginary friend called Miranda

She lives on an island with her father

And a dog

 

Tomorrow I am travelling to Milan with a flea
