Excellent but chilling science fiction.

I had also missed the story called "The Second Mailman" which is equally fine in a totally different genre.

Don just keeps getting better - and he started out pretty high in my esteem.

Thanks Don

This is a very powerful story, Don.

Much food for thought, especially within the constraints of a short story, and well realized.

Kudos to you!!

:)

"The trick is to lie to everyone, and try to tell them what you think they want to hear." ... Isn't this a metaphor for "worthiness" interviews ?

I noticed a couple of other good metaphors also.

Yes, it is. Good eye, Dave.
