I am walking to the station to catch a train that will take me home

Hmmm. Home! Whenever I mention going home to my colleagues, I definitely know what's going on in their heads. She's going home. To a great meal, an husband who adores her, her children; Those smart kids always making her proud. They will eventually pull her out of this poverty. Those thoughts going in their head, just the way it spins in my head too.

The only problem was , there was no husband, no children, no home. Those characters i build up to live like the rest of the world. I cleaned at a karaoke bar with some other cleaners. But one lie after the other, I successfully got to create a husband, children and a home.

At night, I break into people's car to lay my head. I wake up early so as not get caught.

I love the train ride, sometimes I never want to alight, just to keep moving.

A loud bang interrupted my thoughts. Everyone jolted up in the train. It was a train heist. They snatched all they could while we all grovel on the floor. They disappeared immediately the train door opened. It was well timed.

"I think they have gone" Marie said, her head turned, her breath hot on my ear.*

My eyes were tightly closed, it felt like a last moment. Marie had introduced herself as soon as we got on the train. But, she stopped talking when i wasn't responding.She helped me up whilst i thank her. The security had been alerted, and we all in the cab 13 where questioned. I didn't know i was holding unto the Marie throughout the pandemonium.She also seemed to have useful information for the police. She recognise one of our assailant. She had pointed to one of the guys in the pictures shown to us, he had a red mark on his face.

When we finally left the station, she implored me to follow her home. Which i did. I wanted to. I wanted to have someone. Maybe she means something. Maybe this wasn't a coincidence. Maybe i will finally get a family. Maybe....
