trains - a drabble of 200 words
it wasn't the first time i'd rode the train, but it was one of the most memorable. my favourite thing about train rides is the people. you get to observe them, talk to them, sometimes make friends with them. it was on one such train ride that i met miya. we instantly clicked and i greatly enjoyed the time i spent with her. when we got to the station, i found out that we were both transferring to the same train. as miya and i got off to switch, she suddenly began giving me her luggage, saying "here. my arms are tired and i can't carry this anymore". at first, i was resentful. just because we had hit it off didn't mean she had the right to dump her baggage on me and expect me to take care of it. but as i watched her walk unhindered across the platform, smiling and beckoning to me, i thought to myself, if my arms ever got tired, it would be nice to have someone carry my luggage for me. so i carried it. because i knew next time my own got too heavy, i'd have someone to lend me a hand.
