[Raz doesn’t expect this to work at all. There’s no way Mayfield’s Santa is the real deal. It was probably just a trap, like everything else Mayfield did. And yet, as he went about his day and saw all of the decorations everywhere, he felt compelled to write to Santa anyway. He cautiously slipped his letter in the mailbox, half-expecting it to explode or something, and was pleasantly surprised when it didn’t.]
Dear Santa,
I want an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle! [This is scratched out but still readable. He has no idea why he wrote that.]
Hi, it's Raz! Remember me? I forgot to write to you last year. I hope you don’t mind!
I thought about this for a really long time, and I think I’ve been good enough this year to ask for it. I don’t want any stuff for Christmas, and I really want to go home, but I don’t know if you can do that. And I don’t want to leave unless I can take everyone with me, either!

Raz receives only one little box, in which is a key. It works on his bedroom door and if he steps through, he will be in his own home again. He will watch his family enjoy each other's company and the holiday cheer, but be completely invisible to them and be unable to touch or move anything. They will all talk about how much happier they are since Raz left and how they hope he never comes back. As they all sit down to open presents, a masked man will invade the house and murder them all with a Red Ryder Air Rifle. Raz can only watch.
