Bryan braced himself against the folded up napkin he had used as a cushion and bed for his package.He felt as the rhythmic swaying from the unknown post office worker’s gait suddenly stopped for a second,before he felt himself be lifted and gently placed somewhere.He was about to wonder where he was when suddenly the sound of a door slamming and a truck engine starting boomed in the distance,thankfully muffled by the package walls.
The sudden jerk of the truck moving signaled the beginning of his trip to his favorite nephew.Knowing that he’ll be waiting for a few hours,Bryan realized that he was in for a few uneventful hours while he was being delivered.Making himself comfortable,the mote sized scientist soon fell asleep to the dull rumbling of the truck.

Keith loathed overnight deliveries.Pulling up to the campus mailing office,he groaned to himself as he saw the sun start to peek over the horizon.Making his way to the campus staff going through the packages,Keith spotted the campus security holding the tiny package in his hand.The security guard lifted the box between his fingers and looked at the tired postman.
“What’s with this tiny box? It doesn’t have a shipping label.” Keith simply shrugged his shoulders as the security guard curiously scanned the surface of the box. “I don’t know,sir.It was shipped to this university to be delivered to someone named Zack.That’s all I know about the package.”
The guard casually moved to hold the box in a fist.He wondered if something valuable was inside,but then again,if it was something important,it would be better labeled.”I’ll look into that.In the meantime,move the other deliveries inside.”
Keith nodded as he watched the guard take the package into the building.A few minutes later,he moved the last few letters inside the mailing office.He spotted the security guard sitting at his desk by the front door and approached him. “Did you find out who the package is to be delivered to?”
Taking a sip of coffee,the guard didn’t bother taking his eyes off of the computer screen when he answered.
