Tales of the Courier – The special focus delivery
The road is pristine, and glimmers in the noon day sun. It races off to the horizon. 1courier chases after it, pushing the ride for all it’s worth. Soon he will be at the drop-off location. This one would require special focus, and deep concentration. From there, it was only a matter of time. Once complete, the next delivery was ready to go.
With this in mind, 1courier decides to visualize the delivery before arrival. It would help speed things along, once he arrived. From experience, he knows the difficulty will be present from the start. Every balcony delivery is challenging in its own way. Through the years he has dealt with one of them. This one. Once again he wonders, but only briefly.

The instructions are clear. “Deliver to the balcony. Do not approach the door.” 1courier will deliver to the balcony. Furthermore, he will figure out how, when he arrives. He slows the ride for the exit. He will arrive in minutes. Then he rereads the special instructions. It does indeed say balcony.
Not every balcony delivery, is the same. Therefore, 1courier feels nervous as he searches the m-com link for more detailed information. However, there is very little information. Background or otherwise. Additionally, he has arrived.
The first thing he notices is the sheer height of the balcony. The next thing he notices is the basket. It shouldn’t take long. And he tries to estimate the distance between ground and basket. He wonders once again what manner of creature is being restrained at the main entrance. Is it really that bad? As if in answer to his thoughts, 1courier hears an excitedly agitated howl from within the drop-off location.
Special Focus Delivery
Therefore, he decides to move quickly. Best to get this over with. He moves quickly to the foot of the towering balcony. Likewise, the basket is ready for the cargo. However, the cargo is almost more than the basket can manage. 1courier secures the cargo and begins pulling the rope for delivery. The cargo tries to shake free and tumble back to the ground. However, 1courier is ready, and eases the pressure on the rope.
The cargo steadies. The m-com link flashes and the special focus delivery is almost complete. As the basket reaches the balcony wall, 1courier trips, and takes a clumsy fall. Far above, the basket settles with a clatter, on the rail of the wall. 1courier scrambles back up. Intending to catch the falling cargo. However, it remains on the railing.
He is relieved to have the cargo delivered. Yet there is still the matter of the signature. This is soon resolved, as a hand appears from an opening gap in the door. Additionally, there is a signed paper. However, there is also a large something with fur, trying to burst through the open gap. As the paper drops to the ground, the door bursts open with a loud bang.

1courier takes off like a shot. Likewise, he is running pell mell for the ride. Furthermore he does not need to see that he is being pursued. He can hear the sound of padded furry paws rapidly closing in. As he nears the ride he is relieved to see he left the door open. This is his saving grace, as he drives for the front seat of the ride. As he lands in a crumple, he turns, and quickly pulls the door closed.
The large furry creature slams against the ride, full steam ahead. 1courier grins. The sound of the disappointed creature was gratifying. He keys the ignition, and checks the m-com link. Another pickup is ready. Time to go.
