THE FLYING VASE

A SHORT ESSAY

    You must be thinking, a flying vase?  I did not think so either, except on that bright spring day, driving in my delivery truck.  I had my set of deliveries, which were loaded on the front shelf of the truck.  My ensuing stop was from Bloomingdale’s.  As I turned the corner, with the side door open, the box flew out.  It landed on a grassy section, and out of the box came this beautiful cobalt blue vase.  I immediately stopped the truck, and I ran to retrieve it.  Not a scratch or mark on it.  I quickly grab it, the paper tape that was used just came apart in my hand.  I carefully put the vase back in the box.  I then placed it in a safe part of the truck, to bring back to the office, where I would tape it back up, and the package would look as good as new.  The next day, off I went again, and I was able to deliver it, with no one knowing how far it had flown.
