Steve always delivers. Pizza or packages, delivery was his life, and he was good at it.
But today’s delivery felt different. Full of pride, Steve stared at the heart filled cooler in the passenger seat. He had made it!
Suddenly, the cooler started to move. The heart was beating!
Unable to look away, Steve missed the hairpin turn, crashing into the guardrail.
Thrown from his car and tumbling down the hill, he saw the cooler disappear into the abyss.
As Steve lay there dying, waiting for help, he clutched his ID, denoted with a familiar red heart. Steve always delivers.
