Description

The Lost Letter Office is the somewhat lesser known, and much lesser
liked, little cousin of the City Postal Service.
Squatting in its larger counterpart’s basement, it is a series of cramped
rooms stacked with innominate envelopes, where uniformed posties sort
every message that no one has or will ever send. Most of these are just
scrambled secrets or throwaway thoughts, fed to the shredder with no
mind paid to their destruction. But, every so often, a special few slip through
the nets of never; prayers strong enough to be put to paper, promises
unspoken yet unbroken, whispers unheard above the din of irresolution.
These get delivered, for better or worse.

The wave of new messages began arriving a week ago. At first they were
addressed to the Lost Letter Office, and then they were addressed to
you; the Office’s anonymous workforce, receiving innocent-looking letters
blotched top to bottom with your deepest regrets and most desperate
secrets.

Something is trying to get your attention. And as the paper keeps piling, it
comes time you’re asked to trace the trail.
