Both Mr. and Miss Mailbook give each other an odd look. Both knew the man had just walked off their pooch and both knew that he should still be in his view of their window no matter which direction he was heading. Yet when Mr. Mailbook went outside and was standing in the middle of the road he could find no sign of the man; not on the road or n the sidewalk.

 

Either Miss or Mr. Mailbook mentions anything about the anything about their encounter with the mysterious man they had met and disappeared walking down the road. Most of their follow neighbors was still asleep when at the time and the Mailbook does not force their company on people so staying silent about what had happen had came easy for them especially seen all their kids are not now grown, with nothing but themselves to keep company. Yet the encounter with the man in red did not leave there mine in fact. Both Miss and Mr. Mailbook had started to wonder if that person, whoever he may be, wanted them to notice him walking down the road.

 

Five months after the encounter, and two day before Christmas Eve. The strangest thing had started to happen.
