@neenernina The Time is 7:50 pm on a hot summer Tuesday

You're sitting in on the Valley Flyer on a Ticket to Northampton. The scenery outside the train is green and full of nature. Around you are 9 people of interest. A girl Loading her bike onto the train, a blue haired woman crocheting a sweater, a character of indeterminate gender reading a book, 2 young boys playing on their Nintendo DS, a ghost, a butch attempting to open her watercolor set, a man pointing a camera out the window and a little old lady muttering to herself. Beneath your seat lies a backpack, inside are 3 novels, a photo of John Lennon, Mineral Water and a laptop.

What do you do?

@arkynwolf You run over to the door and help the girl get her bike on to the rack, she seems grateful. She tells you her name is Maria and when you go back to your seat, she sits across the aisle from you. She off handedly mentions that she moved to New Haven a month ago from El Paso and is going up to NoHo to see some friends

@curseyournarrativeandmoisture She asks where you are heading on the train and you tell her that you are looking for a new life after a messy break up in New York, you though Northampton seemed nice, you talk about how your brother and his boyfriend are driving a Uhaul up there to get your apartment ready while you ride the train up
