Train wreck
September 17, 2019
Walked into the room.
Trains left the station.
Saw you standing in a corner.
Trains roared down the track.
Strolled over to attempt conversation.
Trains accelerated.
Managed to get a few awkward sentences out.
Trains noticed they were hurtling towards each other.
You said, "Bye".
Trains realized it was too late.
You left the room without another word.
Trains collided.
I lost you.
Train wreck.

I am often inspired when I think about absolutely nothing. This piece was no exception. I was sitting on my floor, staring into space, when the idea for this piece came to me. I got up from where I was sitting, whipped out a piece of paper, and ten minutes later, Train Wreck was born.
