Microfiction Monday: #52

Welcome to Microfiction Monday,
where a picture paints 140 characters, or even fewer.

Below is the picture, followed by my take on it.


The engineer smiled and waved,
as he did every day,
to the woman with the luggage
who never boarded.

    I guess she just went to the Depot to watch the trains, but didn't want to go empty handed.

    Nice! I wonder what she's doing there, luggage and all - could be a story in itself...

    Fills me with a little sadness. Sounds like this is a lady who desperately wants to go somewhere, anywhere, but hasn't the resources on her on to do so.

    HERE IS MINE

    Oh that's sad...and yet at least she's getting up and out every day.

    Many of the entries had such a sad note to them-I like your take.
