Meant to Be

I barely had the chance to put the car in park before running into the entrance of the train station. The cemetery where Clarice is buried takes about three hours to get to by train. If I couldn’t find Oliver by the time it leaves the station, I’m screwed.


There’s a high probability that my car is going to get towed by the time I come back. However, I couldn’t care less about my car right now! 


A few employees screamed at me for running through without a ticket, but I didn’t care. 


The next train to Duluth, Minnesota was leaving in ten minutes. I sprinted through the platforms to find the correct one. I didn’t bother buying a ticket, but once I found the train, I needed to find Oliver. 


I walked through every individual train car to find the only little boy sitting by himself. The only child that I cared about finding on that train!
