Friday 55 Flash Fiction is brought to you by G-man (Mr Knowitall). The idea is you write a story in exactly 55 words. If you want to take part pop over and let G-man know when you've posted your 55.
He walked past without a second glance
Three days on the trot now.
She missed his visits, he usually called every day.
She jumped as she heard the click of the gate as it opened.
He hurried up the path, waving to her.
At last, she thought...
As he posted the mail through her letterbox.

Our postman actually goes into my elderly neighbours house every morning to make sure she's OK whether she's got mail or not Thom. How nice is that? :)
I think she even likes the junk mail Flowerpot!:)
Postie's are greaet Sandi :)
Yes the mail is coming in batches at the moment Shrinky ;)
Thanks Bee x

Aw poor Buff. I hope he brings something nice for you soon. x
There are so many lonely people that just wait for the postman Clean & Crazy, it's so sad. :(
Cheers Dumdad :)
Anything Nessa, she's lonely. :(
As always, cleverly writ!
my boys love to meet the mailman...probably b/c he gives them suckers... great 55! have an amazing weekend!
mine is up!
ROFL! It's so true, he's everyone's friend!
Is it me or does that fellow have an unusually large hand??
Loved the 55!
Oh, how cute!
I think she either has a crush on the postman or she's eagerly awaiting her William-Sonoma catalog!
HA!
As always...I loved this one!
Have a great weekend, m'dear!

Oh, I know this feeling well! My heart always breaks when the mail carrier forsakes me!
Ah, it's terrible when you don't get mail. Nicely said.
Aw thanks Daryl x
What a great mailman you have Brian to give the kids suckers. :)
His hand does look unusually large now you mention it Susan! :0
Probably the catalogue Ron :)
I'm so pleased you enjoy them Spiky x
I'm always disappointed too if we don't get mail Quilly :(
Yes it is Anthony :(
We have a new letter carrier... I miss the old one.
No mail is better than bills!
It seems like nothing good ever come in the mail anymore - just bills and circulars and the like. I couldn't tell you the last time I got an honest-to-goodness letter! Come to think of it, though, it's probably been way too long since I wrote one either!
Well, he's not bringing ME anything very interesting lately! But looks friendly enough. Good one, "A." D
You got me with thiis one. I was not thinking mailman.
Sometimes I go all week without checking my mail box!
Ake...I'm afraid mailmen will be obsolete in our lifetime.
Loved your 55 My Dear!
Thanks for always providing suspense..
Have a Wonderful Week-End...G
Nice reminder to a most thankless job! I get checks in the mail, so I check it everyday! Love my mailman. Great 55!
My Saturday post owes something to your writer's sensibilty, Ake :)
Aloha, Friend!

I hate it too when they change our mailman Anndi :(
Yes, you're right there Cheshire Wife!
Oh I know what you mean Linda, I can't remember the last time I got an honest to goodness letter either. Mind you I expect Christmas cards to start dropping through the letter box in the next few weeks :)
Well I hope he brings you something interesting soon Donnett :)
Aha you didn't second guess the ending Dr. John that's great!
Really Trav? I check my mail every day, it's a ritual!
I think you may be right G-man, especially the way our Royal Mail is going!
Oooh cheques in the mail - I wish I got some Tall Kay! LOL
