Stamps

Stamps was written for a writing workshop class in the winter of 2017. It's a short story that follows Cricket - an autistic postman - into the supernatural town of Haven, Maryland. Get a glimpse of the daily life of the townsfolk through Cricket's eyes as they work hard to follow the postal code to the letter.

This story was written out of a desire to see an autistic protagonist take front and center in a story, and to show a glimpse of the unique perspective autistic people often have on the world and its inhabitants. Many people see autistic people as different than them, but in this town where everyone is different, it's easier to see everyone for what they are: people.
