The Postman
My father barged into my room as I was sucked into the world of Halo. I paused the game, expecting him to lecture me on some stupid thing I did, but, I looked up to see a grin on his face.

"What do you want?" I asked slowly, confused at what was happening.

"Well since I'm retiring as a postman, they need a new one so I told them that you would be happy to take my place!" He was literally jumping up and down on the carpet. That guy has some serious problems.

"You did what?!"

"Yep! All you have to do is turn in this application and your good to go!"

I hesitated before filling it out. But I had to do it. I couldn't break my dad's heart.


I zoned out of my flashback and went back to the real world, where I was standing before a woman sitting in her desk. I was holding out my application to her, waiting for her to take it. She ripped it out of my bony hands and read it.

"So..." She began as she flipped through the application, "Your name is Maximan Richards?"

I blushed because I hated that name. "Yes, but I go by Max."

"Whatever. You start tomorrow," she said, holding out a uniform.
**********
I pedaled quickly down Gurgle Lane, in a hurry to get home from work. It was actually better than expected. I didn't even see any dogs out to maul me. But I spoke too soon. My neighbor's pit bull, Rex, leaped out in front of me showing is very large teeth. I cursed as he mauled me.

"Get this damn dog off of me!" I screamed to no one in particular.

Fortunately, the neighbor came out and retrieved their vicious pit bull, leaving me with minor injuries all over me. I rode home, pissed and exhausted. I didn't care what my dad thought, I'm never doing this job again.
