No Signature

by William Bell

After Steve ("Wick") Chandler's father leaves the family, Wick receives a postcard from him every month. There's no return address, and no signature: just "DAD" stamped on the back. When Wick's mom finds him angrily ripping up the cards, she starts throwing them out before he can see them. But one day, when he's eighteen, he gets the mail first. He finds another "DAD" postcard, and goes in search of his father. During a short trip to Thunder Bay, the two slowly form a relationship. The painful secret that forced Wick's father to leave his family is revealed; as a result, Wick's resentment and bitterness lead to forgiveness and respect.
