It was a Monday afternoon the day Marta dreaded the most, it was the day the mailman came. Marta was extremely unconfortable when it came talking to men ever since she broke up with her boyfriend of 5 years three months prior. She knew the guy was going to try and hit on her and invite himself into her apartment. Finally the moment came that she had been dreading and she hears the door bell ring. She goes to the door and trys opening it only a crack but somehow he manuevers himself into her living room. “So how have you been this past week, you seem a little lonely.” the Mailman muttered. Marta didn't know what do think of what was happening, she didn’t know whether to be happy or scared. The topic of going on a date was eventually brought up, and being as shy as Marta was she didn’t have the gut to say no. “Hey how about I go drop off the mail car go home and get dressed and go and grab something to eat in about an hour,” the Mailman said excitedly.
An hour passed and the mailman showed up in his impressive Cadillac and already off the bat Marta was impressed. “So were are we going to dinner,” Marta asked timidly. “Don’t worry its a surprise.” said the mailman. This made Marta uneasy, she really didn’t like surprises. After a long minutes of driving the finally reached their destination the “Outback Steakhouse”. “Are you excited for a nice juicy steak?” asekd the mailman. “Unfortunatly I am a vegetarian and I don’t eat meat but I’m sure they serve salad.” The mailman kept on asking Marta more and more personal questions that made Marta unconfertable. She wanted to go home and the smell of roasting beef made was making her sick. After a tramatrizing hour the mailman finished his four pound steak and it was ready to take Marta home. She knew it wasn’t going to be easy to get rid of him when they got all the way to her house. They arrived the words came out that Marta really didn’t want to hear. “So does it end here?” he asked. “ Yeah, unfortunally it is going to have to end here I just finished a terrible relationship.” Marta went back in her house and got back to her glassblowing for a couple when she realized that she didn’t hear the car leave when she got dropped off. She went to the window and peered out and saw the cadillac still in her driveway. This sent Marta into panic and she didn’t know what to do. She called his cellphone but he didn’t answer. She had no idea what to do. She locked her bed and decided to go to bed.
