30 Ways of Looking at Marumaru South: (22) The Postie

The postie lights up the world, she really does. Everyone expected her to move on to bigger things, bigger places, after high school, but she stayed to deliver the mail.

She visits her grandfather every day (he subscribes to many magazines, but is no longer embarrassed by them); if time allows she’ll dust his bookshelves or put on a casserole.

Her beauty grows with every passing week. She’s very good at recommending books and is a sought-after babysitter.

She has no deep dark secret, no tragic flaw. The world is better with her in it. No wrong shall befall her.
