Excellent A story of a newborn baby The Delivery by Brian Taylor1 Short Story(150 words) writing prompt entry Artwork by Cindy Sue Truman at FanArtReview.com

John pushed through the crowd as he heard the train approaching. An anxious buzz coursed through his bloodstream. An ear-to-ear grin widened his red-hued face. There was no way he was going to miss the birth of his child. Overcoming his germaphobia, he boarded. Upon departure, he imagined billions of germ-filled microbes penetrating his immune system. Two stops later, and the thought of a virus, he was out the door, up the stairs, hustling to the hospital. With a shirt covered in sweat, he entered Massachusetts General and got on the elevator, anticipating his life-changing event. Heading straight for the delivery room, he took a deep breath, put on a mask, and went in. Immediately he saw his wife cradling a newborn, who bared a striking resemblance to their mailman, who also was in the room. When locking eyes with his wife, she confessed... "Sorry John, he's not yours."
