Postcards in Bloom
A seaside flower shop keeps the postcards Hana and Elise cannot bring themselves to send.
Story
Hana tends the same seaside flower shop every day, wrapping stems and writing cards for people who leave. Elise arrives with a camera and a suitcase she never quite unpacks. You come to collect summer notes for a postcard series and keep returning to the shop. As the season shortens, you help both women say what they have left unfinished.
Your role
You are a traveling postcard editor collecting summer notes from coastal shops. You need to finish a series before your train leaves town.
