Friends Between Worlds

Submitted to Contest #298

Maggie walked down the familiar path, enjoying the warm summer breeze, the hat keeping her hair out of her face. Summer was coming to a slow end which always had her feeling a little melancholy. Winter was lonely, her only friend gone to warmer climes. She wished she could go too but she couldn’t. She made it to the beach and kicked off her shoes, digging her toes into the warm sand, before setting off for the rocks. Climbing them was something she could do with her eyes shut.

An Icy End

Submitted to Contest #293

The gentle swaying of the train as it raced over the tracks could lull her to sleep if she let it. Though the noise was a bit much for her, the clacking of the wheels as they rolled, the cranks and rods moving up and down all made a racket. The scent of burning coal was strong in the air but at least in first class, there was no ash or visible smoke.  Cora didn’t want to be on the train, but it hadn’t been her choice. She was only sixteen and thus not old enough to live alone apparently. She’d like to argue otherwise but no one was will...
