Description
A pocket-sized souvenir wallet from the Unbirthday — printed, hand-cut on a Silhouette Cameo, folded, filled, tab-closed, sealed, and cancelled over the seal like any honest piece of mail. Sized for being hand-held — 3.3 × 4.4 inches. Small enough to actually pocket.
You’ll receive a wallet from this world — each is cut, stamped and inscribed by hand, so yours will differ slightly from the one pictured.
Inside this wallet
- Rolled route map, sealed — the Continuum Post’s chart of all nine worlds
- Stickers x 3
- A collector’s pin
- A mini world postcard
- An Oracle card
- A coloring card
- One stowaway
Greetings from the Unbirthday
This is the home dimension — the Vortex’s town square, where a tea party has been going on so long that nobody remembers starting it and nobody wishes to stop. Every day is everyone’s unbirthday, which means every day there is cake for no particular reason, which is the best reason there is.
Journeys begin here and journeys end here. Whichever world you wander off to, the compass needle is secretly always pointing back.
The Continuum Post keeps its General Delivery window in the Town Square, and the clerks will hold a parcel for you indefinitely, without a single reminder notice, because they assume you are coming back. You are.
You did not come here, exactly. You returned. You always do. Taste it: that is the flavor of being expected, of a chair already pulled out, of a celebration that was never about you in particular and somehow entirely for you.
About the stowaway
Every parcel that crosses the Vortex carries one stowaway. This is the law. It arrives from a world that is not this one, it is not listed on your manifest, and it varies from parcel to parcel. That is rather the point.
Your manifest
The souvenir manifest on the wallet is filled in by hand, by a human clerk: to whom it finds, what travelled with it, its provenance, and its parcel number. Some things should still be written down by a person.
Care
Keep the wallet dry. The Oracle card is laminated and will outlive us all.
Series 1. Nine worlds, nine wallets — collect the route.
Made at the ABQ Terminus — the Well on the route chart. The outpost has taken to the circuit: the chalked A-frame travels the desert, the traveling table appears wherever the markets do, and the online shelves never close. The dispatch tells the story ▸ You’ve found the atlas — welcome to the source. (Also crossing the seam on Etsy as AliceVortex, for travelers who prefer that route.)
