An unpublished dark humor story about a woman whose life centers around waiting for the mail, especially sales catalogs. It's about lonliness and its potential devastating effects. This story seems to be attracting a sizeable readership.

 

Hit the "Download this Story" button above to read the complete story.

Excerpt:  Mrs. Longfellow sat patiently at the end of her gravel driveway in her Sunday dress waiting for the mail. She always wore her Sunday dress on Mondays because she no longer went to church, an idiosyncrasy that only made sense to her.
