Today I solved
the quiz of the Sphinx. A bit harder than the riddle of the Sphinx.
Paper
Purgatory
A sinful postal
named Reggie dies by accident in a graveyard haunted by the ghost of
a genie. The genie needs to grant one last wish to move into the
afterlife, that is his unfinished business. The postal worker doesn't
think much of genie or the motives beyond that and decides that as a
ghost he can finally see the world so that's how he spends his wish.
The genie, like many, are bound to use their magic to punish or
reward people karmatically(and often poetically), and that holds true
even in death. The sinfull postal worker thought that his form as a
ghost would protect him from any genie repercussions that would
happen like in the movies.
But the genie
found a way. He gave Reggie a new home. The postal worker became
cursed to haunt a fake letter that the genie placed in the mail. The
address to be sent would change as would who supposedly sent it so
when someone got it they would return it to sender and Reggie would
be off again. A loop of the letter traveling the world, and even the
postage would change if needed. If opened the letter would say what
was exactly needed for the person to want to send it away again.
Reggie couldn't be spared by damage or being tossed away. His letter
purgatory could repair itself and would crawl to a mail box in the
dead of night.
One of the
easier magic spells the genie granted. As the genie passed on the
sinful postal worker traveled the world as a letter. Part of his wish
was to see it, so a strange sight was granted to him from the rims of
the envelope. But Europe, China and South America all look the same
from the inside of a mailbag.
