Nick's Helper

The job offer notification pops up on my phone early on Christmas Eve. It's a short-term role helping with overnight deliveries. The regular delivery driver has hurt his back and needs an offsider for heavy lifting. Nick's Helper is a short story written and narrated by Robert Fairhead from the Tall And True writers' website.
