Letters from the Next World

About the letters

What is this?

A story told in letters. You receive them from Sef, who died on a Tuesday and can somehow write to exactly one address: yours. It's a work of fiction, and it's free.

How do letters arrive?

About one a day, by email and here in the letterbox — both show the same letters. Sometimes a few days pass between letters. That's part of the story; nothing is wrong, and nothing is ever lost.

How do I write back?

Each letter ends with a few replies in your voice. Choose one — Sef notices which. When you choose a reply, you can sometimes add a line of your own beneath it (the P.S.). And you can always write in the margin of any letter: a thought, a question, anything. Margins keep. Sef reads them, slowly.

Can I mark a line I love?

Yes. Touch and hold any line to mark it. Marked lines are kept for you.

What if I stop reading for a while?

Nothing bad. The letters wait. Open the box again and the next one comes. There's no streak, no score, and no such thing as too late.

Can I write my own letter to Sef?

Later in the correspondence, a writing desk opens in your letterbox. You can write to Sef in your own words — one letter at a time. Sef reads every one, and a reply comes when it comes. Sometimes the desk closes for a little while when Sef is mid-journey; your letters keep, and it opens again.

Is this really from the beyond?

No. This is a creative work of art, made with care from terrestrial sources. Nobody here claims to carry messages from anywhere. If you'd like to know more about the sources and the people who made this, write to us: Sef <contact@thecenterforunity.org>.
