The little story

River Post

River Post is a skylit post office that floats on the water, with a pitched roof full of light and a deck ready for the next stop. Sealed letters wait in the sorting room, and luggage is packed for a journey.

Ripple is the postal otter. Ripple sorts the mail by the current, checks every address twice and sets aside the one letter marked whenever you are ready.

Come by when you have something to send. The lantern is always lit, the post is always gently rocking, and the next delivery is just around the bend.
