All, doing a 5 minute freewrite. Thank you for reading.
In the small town of Willow Creek, the postmaster was a curious man who always loved to explore new technologies. When he heard about the invention of the telegraph, he was one of the first to embrace it. But as time went on, he became increasingly intrigued by a new communication method: email.
He read everything he could about it and decided to try it out. He typed up a message on his computer, hit send, and waited. The next day, he received a response from a man in a far-off city. He was ecstatic. The postmaster couldn't believe that he could communicate with someone so far away in a matter of seconds.
As word of the postmaster's email experiment spread, others in the town began to take notice. Soon, they too were sending and receiving emails. Even though they still relied on the post office for letters and packages, email had opened up a whole new world of communication for them.
Years later, the postmaster looked back on that first email he sent with fondness. It was a small moment, but it had changed the way he and his community interacted with the world forever.
