Art by Dylan Haigh
Without warning, the price of stamps began to drop. After inching up and up her whole life. Few others noticed right away, since everyone was looking at their phones, even at the post office. Still, forever, which she’d never bought anyway, came to mean something slightly different, and each day after there was a little less of it to press against and hold.
Dylan Haigh was born and raised in Newmarket, NH before escaping at 17 to Boston, then New York, and finally, North Carolina. He returned to the seacoast in 2009 to open Haigh and Martino, a design studio in downtown Portsmouth which he founded with his wife, Kristy.
