(Author’s note: I decided to go a whole different direction with this than I was originally thinking. This one has a little bit of a different feel to it. You’ll understand when you read…)

Downtown Train

by Miles H. Rost

Patrick walked out of the hobby shop, happily clutching the bag that held his latest treasure. Robert, his longtime friend, scrunched his face in a puzzled expression.

“So, tell me this again. You’re building…”
“A bullet-style train setup in my garage. Since I don’t have a car, I figure why not use the garage for something hobbyish.”
“And this train is…”
“A KTX-Cheongryong, or KoRail Class 16000. 2 control cars and 4 motor/passenger cars.”
“Isn’t that excessive?”
“Nah. It pales compared to Rod Stewart’s setup.”
“THE Rod Stewart?”
“The same. Seems like a lot of celebs are railheads.”
“Y’don’t say…”

(Little known fact: Rod Stewart has two different rail setups in his houses in LA and England. He’s one of the big names mentioned as a celebrity who is also a rail enthusiast. Others include Michael Jordan, Roger Daltrey, and Elton John.)

Friday Fictioneers – Forever Young

Took a break last week with some other stuff going on at work, so I am back (though a little late):

Forever Young
by Miles Rost

“Dad, was this place always filled with water?”

“No, son. This area used to be a major quarry for the local marble company.”

“Why didn’t they continue with marble here?”

“The company went out of business, son.”

“I never knew about this place, what it was.”

“That’s because it changes all the time. Everything changes after time, even you.”

“But Dad, do you think I’ll change so much to be unrecognizable?”

“You won’t be unrecognizable. People will still remember what you were, and what you are. In people’s minds, you’ll be forever young.”
