Some self observation- I found myself diverting towards a negative side in creating stories as first creating a problem where a simple scenario can also be adopted, but this is what came into my mind when i saw the photo . And while writing the story i am having dual thoughts that it’s going negative .
The story is good, but the only OLQ presented here is patience. The main character is doing nothing except waiting. That aspect can be improved significantly.
The self observations are good. Try to include those aspects too in the answer.

Timing is not good. You need to improve that aspect. Similarly, the image in question should be at the center of the story. You have to mention what led to the situation and what is the future course. Improve these aspects in the story.
Character _ 1.(M.25 +ve ) main character.
2.(M . 22 +ve ) .
Action : Good news.

Shweta you have not mentioned the timings. Ensure mentioning the time taken to write the answer. The concept is good because postman is a central character in the story that you have written. That being said, the story is good and shows a lot of OLQs. Good work!

Time needed: 2min 56sec
Story started well but got drifted in the end. Try to maintain the flow. The lead character becomes the secondary character by the end. Thus, this story can be improved.

Submitted by:- ABHAY
time taken:- 4min 36sec
Abhay the story is fine, but the idea behind it can be improved. The lead character must be the one that can perform a better action. You can alternatively have the postman show some enthusiasm for the letters he will be delivering. Good work otherwise!

Good story Aniruddh. However, the concept behind the story can be improved a little bit. Apart from that, all other aspects are good.
Theme: The joining letter

Time:2:20
Story is too short and the concept shows no big action. Try to write a story where the lead can solve some challenge. All the best!

Time taken -3:45
You’r using commas instead of full stop. This leads to a single sentence story, which can be strictly avoided. Final verdict, the idea is good, the story can be improved.
