4:10
By Nlynn


We're slowing down. The landscape that passed by earlier in quick
frames has now paused, as if moving in slow motion. I can hear the
sounds of metal on  metal as brakes are applied. I try to crane my
head and look out the window.  Try to see the platform through the
glass, but we're not close enough. No matter how much I press my
face against the glass, I cannot make out what I truly want to see.

I sigh and lean back.

William is sleeping, his head tilted to the right.

He doesn't know what lies ahead.

Neither do I.

My eyes trail from his sleeping form to my watch. 4:10. We’re on
time. Passengers begin to shift, gathering their things. They must
be the ones who know the route well.

Out the window, again. This time, the edge of the platform. Benches.
People. ...

Could that be him?
