Letters, both directions

The Village Post

Leave your name in the box by the gate. Anna checks it in the mornings.

the box, most of the time

The mailbox at the end of the lane has been there longer than Anna has. It leans slightly. Twice a month a story goes out from it. A morning, an afternoon, a room, whatever the village was doing that week.

Leave your name at the Village Post.

A story every other Sunday. Leave whenever you like.

The post runs the other way too. If something here reminded you of somewhere, or you want to tell Anna what the rain sounds like where you are, the box is open at anna@cocoyellowvillage.com. She writes back. It may take her a while; it usually does.

Nothing is collected here beyond an address. What we keep.
