Contest Entry #36: The Last Moment

“Where are you?”
“Almost reached the station”
“Only 15 minutes more” - Anxious voice.

10 minutes: luggage placed inside.

5 minutes: His eyes still searching her.

1 minute:

Expectation..!!
And there She comes.
But train has already vanished to some distant world.
She sat on the bench crying. She has missed it. The last moment!!

    I was anxious reading this. I wouldn’t wish to be in her shoes. That must be very painful. Great one.

    I liked the structure a lot. It helped a lot towards indulging us in the story. I caught my last moment. It doesn’t eases the pain but most definitely helps in getting closure. Nice work.

    I liked the way you built your story up, really good in sense of helping us understand what is going on and what she feels. Good one :)
