We live in an age now when we're taught to be suspicious of anything that might be too good to be true. Your well expressed flash story demonstrates that, sometimes, we can simply believe that great news can, in fact, happen. Thank you for sharing and good luck! Debbie

This was creative and a fun story to read. I imagined the aunt working through the night putting the pieces back together like a jigsaw puzzle.

Interesting flash, and the ending was unexpected, but so was not having the nephew's name or Mary not bothering to read the postcard before destroying it. But that would've ruined the surprise ending.
Good luck in the contest.

Oh dear! Mind you I did wonder why the nephew sent it to her. Was he inviting her to visit Egypt to join the hunt? If so, all is well. He'd have another copy.
