Tired of being a postbox, I journey through the city, searching for meaning beyond delivering letters.
Maeve O'Connor
female. She is a sentient postbox in a bustling city. She is curious,introspective,and restless. Maeve feels trapped in her mundane role,yearning for more than just delivering letters. She dreams of experiencing life beyond her static existence,often imagining what it would be like to be human. Her interactions with passersby reveal her longing for connection and understanding.
Eamon O'Connor
male. He is Maeve's brother and another postbox in the family. He is adventurous,mischievous,and independent. Eamon often takes risks by moving around the city at night to explore new places and meet new people. His stories of these escapades inspire Maeve to seek more from life. Eamon's boldness contrasts with Liam's caution but adds excitement to their shared experiences.
Liam O'Connor
male. He is Maeve's brother and a fellow postbox. He is practical,supportive,and humorous. Liam shares Maeve's frustration with their roles but approaches life with a more pragmatic attitude. He often teases Maeve about her daydreams but remains protective of her. Liam's grounded nature balances Maeve's idealism as they navigate their shared existence as postboxes.
I am a postbox.
Brilliant, I know.
Not exactly the most exciting thing in the world.
But I’m not just any postbox – I’m a sentient one.
Which arguably makes me even more boring.
I mean, if I were to die and come back as a piece of street furniture, at least I could be a bench or something.
That way, I’d get to watch people interact with each other.
Instead, I’m stuck here on the corner of 5th and Main, only interacting with people when they stick their mail in my mouth.
Talk about unfulfilling.
Day in and day out, it’s all the same – letters come in, letters go out.
I rarely get any mail personally; when I do, it’s always a utility bill or something equally boring.
My brothers Liam and Eamon are also postboxes – we were all made at the same time, hence the familial connection – but they both seem to be taking our lot in life with far greater ease than I am.
Liam just sort of rolls with it.
He’s very practical and doesn’t let his thoughts get too far away from the present moment.
Eamon, on the other hand, has decided to take matters into his own hands.
