 |  | Passing Trains  [E] You never know who you'll meet on a train.  |
| (4.5)| Hallo Purple Holiday Givings ! I will be reviewing your work "Passing Trains" for House Targaryen on behalf of "Game of Thrones"  Pluses:  - this was my face at the end of this one while the ol' brain was churning and churning with different scenarios! Don't know if you have watched The Twilight Zone, but for some reason, I was reminded of an episode where a woman is sure she's seeing her doppelganger at a train station, and both of them just keep missing each other until she sees 'herself' on the bus going off to goodness knows where! Now, if I'm trying to decipher this story - which is quite simple in its plot - a young woman is returning home after a funeral for her father and feels, understandably, weary and emotionally drained from it all. On the train, she sees a little boy of about 12 staring out the window in awe. However, there's something odd about his kid because he looks eerily like her father when he was at that age. She believes it's probably just her imagination and having just come from an emotional farewell to a man she loved, but when the child hails his mother and she sits down beside him, mother looks at our protagonist and seems to recognize her as well! So what does it all mean? Did Elizabeth - our protagonist - somehow travel back into the past and she's actually seeing her father and her grandmother? With the title of the story being 'Passing Trains', perhaps she's somehow transitioning between the world of the living and the dead? Sooooo many questions I need answers to, and I'm probably not going to get them as you wrote this a while ago.    This short story does pack an emotional punch with that 'Twilight Zone-ish' feeling as well. I'm curious to know what you were thinking about when you wrote this, so feel free to enlighten me. Thanks for the delightful read, and keep on writing!
