The Train to Cupar -1
I haven’t been home in nine years, haven’t spoken to my parents in all that time. Do they ever think of me, their only son? Are they ever sorry, I wonder? Could they now accept me for who I am?
I’d find out. If only I could board this train.
*Thanks to
for letting me use his station photo at the top. I edited it to black and white for this story.“As with any other form of fiction, a 50-word story needs a beginning and an end, a plot and character development, and a theme, meaning, or purpose of some sort. Many 50-word stories are built around twists or climactic moments.” Duotrope.
You ARE good at writer's games )))
Very good. The feeling evokes the sentiment of The Road To Cairo, which I wrote about here: https://open.substack.com/pub/terryfreedman/p/updated-in-praise-of-david-ackles?r=18suih&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
