A note from Sarah:
Hey Mr Postman! – One for romantics! Set around Valentine’s Day, a postman goes the extra mile to make sure he delivers a message…general feel-good story and the sort of postie everyone would like to have.
Hey Mr Postman!
Simon, the postman, looked again at the postcard. It definitely said ‘49 Franklin Avenue’ and yet there only seemed to be thirty well-established homes.
He was fairly new to the area, having moved on his thirtieth birthday! Perhaps there was a Franklin Road, Street or Crescent? He checked his phone. The signal wasn’t great but eventually he found there were no other similar road names.
Of course, that didn’t account for any new-builds. It seemed to take an age before new postcodes were updated.
He studied the postcard. The picture was of a bunch of roses. The warmth of the red made him smile. They cheered him on a bitterly cold February morning. It was almost Valentine’s Day; this card could be really important…
It was addressed to Lizzie Halladay, so he looked up that name, but the search wasn’t helpful. Time was getting on and he needed to finish his round. He slipped the postcard in his pocket and continued on his way.
He returned to the depot and spoke to his supervisor. Together they examined the postcard but even the postmark wasn’t clear. They had no clue as to who had sent it. It wasn’t even signed, and the message seemed rather cryptic. “So, what do we do now?” Simon asked.
“There’s nothing more we can do.” His boss shook his head. “The policy is to place it in the ‘undelivered’” tray for one month, after which it’s shredded and the paper recycled.”
Simon wasn’t happy with that. “I don’t like to stand in the way of true love,” he said. “Can I try and track her down?”
“Not officially,” his supervisor said, then added, “It’ll have to be in your own time. “And don’t do anything to give the post office a bad name! And remember, we haven’t had this conversation?”
