A postal employee can make for a really interesting protagonist. They see a lot, and they know a lot of people. Interesting! Thanks for sharing, Mason.

ReplyDeleteI don't really get to the post office too often, usually to pick up a package, and the postal carrier keeps changing. I always thought a small town postal office would be fun where they do know everybody. This sounds like a good read, thanks for the chance to win.
