Elephant's Child presents 5-10 words for us to use in a creative writing piece.
This week's words are:
Brand, Veered, Afternoon, Impromptu, Holiday, Unaware, Companion, History, Paintings, Solace.
The Companion.
The train was gone.
Nowhere to be seen.
The platform empty.
The ticket office shut.
An impromptu stay,
A holiday of sorts.
An afternoon to fill.
The gallery was open.
Paintings lend solace—
An escape, immersion,
Into another world,
A history on canvas.
He is not alone.
She is not unaware
Of his presence
But looks ahead.
The next train is due.
He looks at her.
She looks ahead.
Decision time.
