A Postcard Goes on Holiday Before Being Written

A fictional comedy from CyberBabiez. The characters and events are invented.

Mimi bought a postcard showing a handsome lighthouse. Before she could write on it, the card slipped out of her notebook.

'I need an adventure worth describing.'

'You already have a lighthouse.'

'That's work.'

It visited the market, attended a street concert, and spent an afternoon leaning against a cafe menu. By evening, its corners were bent and it smelled faintly of cinnamon.

Mimi offered a pen.

The postcard wrote: Having a lovely time. Wish I were staying longer.

'Who are you sending yourself to?' she asked.

'Me. At home. I deserve something cheerful in the mail.'

Mimi purchased another postcard for her own message.

She chose a plain one without a picture. It seemed less likely to have professional burnout.
