He can usually avoid that part of town easily.
The road itself isn’t often part of his route. When it is, with a bit of thought he can come up with another way to make the delivery. After all, he’d been doing the job for over ten years now and was familiar with the town’s layout. He had always liked driving and the work was easy.

He had proved himself to be a good and reliable employee and he certainly knew all the streets and scheduling delivery routes would be a doddle.
He hadn’t seen the old lady. It was dark, and that particular street was not well lit. She must have been wearing something black; not that he ever found out. It was only her face he saw. An old, wrinkled face with terrified eyes, lit up by his headlamps. Then came the thump. A sound that he would take to his grave.
