Julia Roberts in the bathroom of my childhood-home. She wants to shower, as out of nowhere an atmoshperic whirl appears. The roof of a baldachin appears, and under the roof Dr. Strange becomes visible. He hands over a short note to Julia and asks her to help to send this MAIL now. Thank you - and he's already gone.

My niece Jessica is in the backyard of my childhood home with Jesus, who is very lost. He is trying to make his way back to Heaven, but is unsure how to go about that. Jessica decides that MAILing him back is the best solution. She places him in a box, puts a lid on it, tapes it shut, and addresses it to heaven.

Jennifer Lawrence is in the Backyard of my Childhood Home. She catches a glimpse at the neighbour's CHIMNEY and sees letters flying in and out of it. Fascinated by this she picks up the MAGIC WISHING ROCK (From the movie 'Shorts') and wishes she could send mail like that too. Very soon she has stacks of MAIL flying in through the Chimney and can easily send off her own mail vice versa.
