SOPHIE PELL: Mis-Matched

Artistic, Submissions, , , ,

A house at odds with itself. Sideboard of fragile knick-knacks next to a ping-pong table, as if trying to please too many people at once.

Slotted into the empty space on the floral-covered sofa, between a pair of boxing gloves and a set of garden shears, I fit right in.

Sophie Pell is a writer with a background in film and television production. Recent projects include the short story Inspiration, published in Chewin the Fat Magazine and A Country Christmas which was chosen as an Official Selection at the Adapted Screenplay Awards. She has upcoming publications soon to be announced and is a contributing writer for the Crumbling Creatives Club, a comedy sketch group based in London.

Blue jeans, orange T, a sweater knitted in diamonds, and oh for earrings, not gold hoops, but pretty silver studs like Elsa’s, or crystal, like Lynn’s; and a mood ring. That would be her look today.

Lisa cast her eyes over the garments spread out on the bed. Nothing matched.
