Suddenly, she finds herself in front of a crowd, forced to interact with a complete stranger for 180 seconds. One unsuspecting afternoon, Allison is roped into a social experiment just off campus. But as she begins her third year in college, she finds it increasingly difficult to disappear into the white noise pouring from her earbuds. Adopted at sixteen, she knows better than to believe in the permanence of anything. For Allison Dennis, all it takes is 180 seconds…Īfter a life spent bouncing from one foster home to the next, Allison is determined to keep others at arm's length. I’d kill to insert the picture here, but I don’t need the Beckhams coming after me… (PS: If you send me a picture of yourself with a Flat Somebody, I will put it up here. It will be amaaaaazing.Some people live their entire lives without changing their perspective. Even the Beckhams are joining in! One of my reviewers alerted me to this unbelievably fantastic shot of David Beckham hanging out with a Flat Bieber. Turns out that Flat Somebodies are gaining popularity. So far he has not accompanied me on any outings, nor has he offered to mow the lawn, but you never know… He is not life-size like Flat Finn, but he is an undeniable treasure. My friend, Lori–who loves this Flat business as much as I do–was generous enough to send me my very own Flat Rick.
Until I started thinking: What if a character had a Flat Somebody? What if this Flat Somebody was carted around everywhere? Why would a person have a Flat Somebody? And then the what-ifs kept flowing… The challenge then becomes figuring out how to work such a bizarre concept into a meaningful story. As a writer, I found this fantastically exciting… I had a few ideas for a book I wanted to write, but it wasn’t coming together. I am desperate to see this video again.) As a normal(ish) person, I found this odd. I don’t know why I didn’t bookmark it, so if anyone locates it, please send it my way. (For the life of me, I cannot find this blog and video again. There was a bit of a serious edge to the video, as though Flat Rick’s owner was really just sharing a straight-forward day in the life of his cardboard cutout pal. But what made it really spectacular was the fact that the video didn’t come off entirely as a joke. Some guy had purchased a Flat Rick and put together a video documenting Flat Rick’s various outings: a trip to Starbucks, mowing the lawn, riding in the car with his flat face hanging out the window… It was obviously the best video ever made. Look, I have this slight interest in Rick Springfield ( that’s another story), and one time when I was doing a Google search for naked pictures regular old photos of Rick, I came across the most fabulously crazy blog. Q: Where did the idea for Flat Finn come from? A: It’s Rick Springfield’s fault.
