Arrivals and Departures
50-word micro-fiction inspired by Fifties by the Fire via Feasts and Fables
At 10:03, the train steamed into the station. At 10:07, the train steamed away. No passengers embarked or debarked. No footsteps raced to catch the train. No families stood to welcome a long lost child. No conductor cried, "All Aboard!"
The bomb destroyed life, but the machines remained.
Thanks to
