>The Anonymous Package
Debby yawned as she entered her home, a small stump house on the outskirts of Capim Town. She took out a Light Orb from her tail bag to banish the darkness of the evening and set it on her table where the rays of light painted all the bare walls of her domicile. It was a simple home with a barebones kitchen, a dining table and a bed. Stacks of boxes were lined up against the northern wall, filled with mementos and old letters. She never found the time to unpack, all her time taken up by her work.
It had been a long day at work, and the Delibird was exhausted. As fun as the day had been, she needed her rest for tomorrow and waddled into her bed to lie down. The extra weight in her tail bag reminded her of the last order of business. She still had a package to deliver.
With laboured movements, she dug out the parcel and read the label; Debby the Delibird, Delibird Deliveries. A package for her, from an unknown sender. She’d been in town long enough to be recognised, so receiving mail wasn’t exactly surprising. The lack of sender was however. She stared up at the mysterious box between her wings as she laid on her back, turning it this way and that for a few minutes.
Kaz was the obvious guess for a sender, Debby smiled. The Linoone had been working with her for a while now, and she couldn’t ask for a better friend. But, she hadn’t mentioned her birthday to him, nor was it Christmas, so perhaps it was something he found at the market for her. It’d be kind of like him to send one anonymously, she thought.
Debby turned the parcel again, eyeing the details. It was in mint condition and in her trademark packaging, which means it was sent from the office to the office. Which ruled out her family back north or friends elsewhere. Still, she’d met a lot of people since moving in and the sender could be any one of them.
