Generally, I don't rate these unrewarding two cent payers, but this one was so good it demanded a reply, payment or not. This write really lives up to the writing prompt title, it truly is a special delivery.

    Ah Bob, if you'd only visited a couple of days ago, you'd have had 82 cents and ten points. Thank you so much for a lovely review - and only getting two miserable cents! I appreciate your lovely words.

This flash fiction story, Male Mail, relates a terrific story happening that helped galvanize the separated families and defy the restrictions necessary to beat the Pandemic spread. Neat.

That really is a special delivery! How wonderful to have that device. I can only imagine how long it must have taken to set it up, a great tribute to you and the love they all share. Gifts like this are priceless particularly during a pandemic. Your flash story is faultlessly written and fits neatly in the word count. Good luck! Debbie

Caring souls with great minds always seem to come up with the best ideas. It's called taking time out to think of those we love, rather than the normal self-centered what about me. :-) Thanks for sharing.

Oh my gosh, what a lovely gesture!! How many sons would do that? Mine wouldn't. I'm doing good to get him to answer a text or, Heaven forbid, answer a phone call. I'm so glad he was able to do this for you at a very sad and lonely time for our world.

Best of luck in the contest,
Rhonda

This is a heartwarming story about a thoughtful and creative son who came up with a phenomenal gift idea. We are fortunate to live during the era of amazing technology. I remember when I thought a telephone was a great invention. I truly enjoyed this Special Delivery contest entry. Best wishes in the contest.

Lovely nonfiction piece. There were always ways to get round the covid restrictions. I discovered I could break the 10 k boundary to visit my daughter as long as I was taking groceries to her. She's immune compromised and the local deliveries weren't working. This one is well written and heartwarming.

    Ah, then he could (almost) have used that excuse, for I too have a compromised immune system! But we did have local delivery services!
    I am glad you enjoyed this one - thank you for reviewing!
