Charli’s Carrot Ranch flash fiction prompt:
January 30, 2020, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write a story about a postal carrier in an extreme situation. Even if you base your story on a true one, focus on the core trait of this postal carrier. Go where the prompt leads!
Postman Pat steeled himself as he walked towards the door of The Bite, 13 Ruff Lane. If there was one thing he was good at, it was delivering post, and no one had ever created a situation that he couldn’t get through, to make sure his letters reached the correct hands.
Until today.
Since the new owners had moved it, ten different postal workers had been taken off this route, through stress.
A large, ferocious pet, apparently.
Phooey! No dog had ever hindered his job, no matter the size.
Then he heard the growl – Was that even a dog?
But I Smile Anyway...

Oh, yikes! Great to let the reader imagine the size of the beast based on the growl.

Poor Postman Pat. Maybe its Cujo [from Stephen King’s book].

Lesson learned for me…. I´ll have to keep the dog inside the days the postman comes.
Fun read.
