A stone tile with a message tied to it plummets down. It crashes through a roof, just beside a baby enjoying a lollipop.
Narration: The lofty. Living comfortably in their sky-high houses.
The tile bounces from a table out a window and lands hard on a wooden platform, almost crushing a herder's rats.
Narration: Along the wall of the Stately Tower. Secluded from the rest of the city. And untouched by Das Law that governs everyone else.
The tile continues falling.
Narration: Except on days like these.
The tile lands square on top of an owl person's head. Three bystanders freeze in shock of the impact.
Narration: When the outside world comes knocking. And then barges in through the roof.

Feel free to ignore her if that’s not your thing.

All things change. From a couple brothers thrust into adventure, to a Fairy General coming face to face with the results of past actions, things will never be the same again.
Brothers – Postmasters Sprout and Oz become unlikely heroes after discovering a magic mailbox! A Postmaster's work is never done, especially with routes this deadly!
broken – A fantasy/horror story about a psychic zombie kid and a fairy general trying to help each other survive PTSD, a fascist government, and eldritch abominations.
