MVO: A dog followed me home from the supermarket eight-and three-quarter days ago. Not a big dog. But not a small one either.

I let it in and made a pot of tea. It didn’t care for the tea, but it ate all the digestives.

I drew a picture of the dog in purple crayon and placed it at the supermarket.

We watched the news every night and I became quite fond of him. I called him Derrick, after a bully in my school.

Yesterday there was a knock at the door.

‘I’m here,’ the woman said.
‘But where have you been?’ I asked.
‘I’m sorry, I’m married,’ she said. ‘My husband is in London,’ she said.
‘He flew first class for a business class fare. Virgin Atlantic Upper Class,’ she whispered.

She was plainly insane. So I gave her the dog.
