September 2020 Patreon short story, standalone. 

Mary is a little girl who has lost her parents and lives with her grandparents. She has learned early on that the world isn't fair, Santa and the Easter Bunny aren't fair, but the postman is someone who is reliable and is absolutely fair in that he shows up for everyone and the post office would be her church, if she had one. 

A simple story with no gruesome monsters other than other humans and their greed, and how those of us who care might be able to save those institutions.
