Micro fiction: we are sorry for the delay

By

Another Monday morning, waiting for the train
Just the usual . Hope it’s not late again.

What’s that on the tracks… a jacket? Looks like the one Maya had.
That sassy one with studs. She’d never go anywhere without it.

Sucks to lose something like that. Or maybe some asshole stole it and just dumped it.
and now it’s going to be ruined. Maya would be crushed.

She really doesn’t need that shit. She’s had more than her fair share this year.
I wish there was something I could do to help…


It’s so close…

I think… I can reach it


Maybe… if I hurry right now
I think … there’s still time
…Train’s late again

If I move fast, it’s just here on the tracks
Yes… I can touch it…
Just need to reach out a little bit more…

‘We are sorry for the delay, there’s a person under a train’

Liked this? Fancy more? Hop on board!
