Fiasol is fantastic

Kristín Helga Gunnarsdóttir

“I got a letter!” said Fíasól happily, taking a closer look. “It says:
To the amazing and fantastic Fíasól at 8 Green Grove, Grasby.
Thank you for being you! Coolest, coolest, coolest of them all!”
“You’ve got to be joking!” said Pippa. “What halfwit sends something like that?”
Fíasól looked at her sister in indignation.
“Halfwit? A letter like this is definitely not written by a halfwit.”
Fíasól opened the envelope and drew out a long letter and a number of drawings.
“Well, blow me,” she said in surprise. “This must be from a famous artist.”
“Read us the letter,” Pippa said impatiently.
Fíasól read:
“Dear Fíasól, I’ve been meaning to write you many letters to tell you what fun you are and so clever. Here are some pictures of you that I drew. I hope you like them. I’m very good at drawing, just like you. Best of all I like playing with you and I’m so glad to be able to be with you every day. I am always going to wake up with you in the morning and go to sleep with you in the evening and take good care of you all my life.
I shall also look after you when others are horrible to you, and I’ll take your side. I’ll tell Pippa off if she winds you up and I’ll help you to tidy up the frightful dump when your mum says you have to. I’ll always be your best friend.
Your oldest and best and funniest and coolest of all the friends in the whole wide world, Fíasól who is the coolest.”
Pippa stared at her sister in indignation.
“Did you write a letter to yourself?”
“Yeah, and so what? Does it matter who writes you a letter? Getting a letter now and then is the main thing, isn’t it? And they have to be fun letters, that you can be bothered to read.”

Super Joe Mulloy

Scott F. Grenville

Super Joe Mulloy by Scott F. Grenville - If Joe Mulloy was perfect—and he was—then beyond his perfection there only could be ... Super Joe Mulloy
Joe Mulloy lounged in the plushest chair in his luxurious office. All around him, on the walls, on the ceiling, even in strategic spots all over the floor, there were mirrors. Joe sneered at the place where the mirrors were most profuse; twenty or thirty perfectly identical Joes sneered back at him. He admired his sneer from every angle, shaping and changing the contemptuous look on his face with his hands, stroking it, much as other young men in a far earlier age had stroked and twisted their fine mustachios.
As usual, Joe Mulloy was engrossed in his two favorite hobbies: narcissism and indolence.
Joe's friends, of which there were very few, could have given you a fairly accurate resume of his character in five words, his sneer and his indolence.
In the first respect they would have been right. Joseph Mulloy had been born with a sneer on his face. His whole early life had been centered around that sneer. It had enraged his father, distressed his mother, driven his teachers to tears, his playmates to tantrums. He stopped doing homework at the age of eight, but the teachers passed him on anyway to avoid complete mental breakdown.
Gradually, Joe Mulloy began to get his way in everything by virtue of his sneer. It was not merely openly supercilious; that was the beauty of it. It was so subtle, so faint, and yet such an open avowal of contempt for the entire human race, that try as the people he tormented would, to find something in his sneer to charge him with, they never found anything.
