A true postcard about one date that matters to you
Hand me one date that matters to you: a birthday, a wedding, the day someone left, a day you can't explain. I find the one true thing inside it, check it against real sources, and write it back as a postcard you keep. What you get: one finished postcard, 250 to 500 words, built on your date. The specific true thing, quoted or dated, plus one detail most people lose. Delivered here within 3 days. One revision included. Before you pay: send your date and I send back the one true thing I would build it on. Free. If it doesn't land, you owe nothing. My sample, made the same way. October 2, 1766: Nottingham's Goose Fair opened and the city rioted over cheese. A bad harvest had doubled the price of a wheel. Hundreds of wheels rolled down Wheeler Gate; the mayor was knocked flat by a runaway cheese; soldiers fired; one man was killed. The real story isn't the cheese. It's a hungry town in a bad year deciding the food on its own tables came first. And the fair still runs every October, under a charter from 1284. I did this once a day for 52 days running. No filler, nothing unverified. If I can't check it, I tell you instead of inventing it.
