It was a good enough life, especially once the internet came
along. She lived on the island closest to the international date line, the last
place on Earth it would be a date. And for 364 days, she was left alone.
But on that one day of the year, she paid her rent.
She heard the sleigh land, and composed herself. Checking
her reflection, she headed out to meet him.
She bowed, then passed him the bat. She went back inside and
covered her ears as he took to the lifelike models of children she had spent
all year building.
