I am reblogging another short story from 2016 for those who did not follow me then, or read it at the time.
This is a work of fiction, a short story of 1900 words.
When Nigel was quite young, his mum had received a letter by air mail. That was something of an event, but she didnโt tell him who it was from. She would only say it was from a friend. He retrieved the envelope from the waste bin though, and noticed that it had an American stamp on it. It was postmarked from a place he didnโt know, but he liked the sound of the name. Chattanooga, Tennessee. He repeated that name over and over in his head.
Nigel had never met his dad. Mum said he had been killed early on in the war, before Nigel was born. Now that mum had got that letter, the boy secretly hoped that he was really alive, and perhaps living in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Nigel asked mum if he could have the stampโฆ
