Maya was transported back to her childhood when she saw the dazzling
array of postcards on display at a shack on the beach. She picked up a dozen,
and spent the next two hours meticulously writing a personal note on each of
them.
In this age of IMs, and of being tagged on holiday
photographs on facebook, Maya knew her friends would appreciate her gesture of
sending individual postcards.
It was only after affixing the stamps on the cards, and
slipping them into the postbox, that Maya had a sudden thought- did her friends
even know where their letterbox was?

Or, to be more specific, did they even have letterboxes? I don't :(
Nice observation of how times have changed. Good work! :)
Great M post, loved the read.

teehee--I know my kids occasionally get mail and would never know it, where I used to RUN for the mailbox every day as a teen. I had a dozen or more pen pals and was very dedicated to all of them.
Good point...tis a wonder.

That's is a good question...and a statement on one of the problems of todays society.
You do so much with 100 words.

Writing mail has become an endangered activity :)
Natasha - Human contact has changed so much hasn't it? I love the instant contact you can have with friends on the Internet, but there is something about a real letter...
