Hazel's husband Henry had gone off to war more than four
decades ago...and, had never returned. Well into her eighties now,
Hazel continued to keep her modest home out in the country,
a place that was adored by both herself and Henry.
She missed her husband terribly, and had really never been
given details of his death, she had only been told by the war
department that Henry had become missing in action and
could not be accounted for.
Each day, Hazel would spend time at Henry's fine cherry
writing desk...a piece that he had inherited from his mother.
It was Henry's favorite piece of furniture... and Hazel's daily
dusting and polishing of the desk had kept it pristine during
the last fifty years or more.
Today would become one of joy, faith and gratitude...
and it would be delivered by none other than her local
postman Mr. Billings.
'The Letter', it's story number eighteen in the new fiction
short story book Tales Unleashed. You won't want to miss
it. SS
