Why do I see him at every station? Just standing there, on the platform, staring at me. And when the train starts to leave the station he waves at me. As if saying goodbye.

I just have to keep it together for one more day. But at every station I want to jump off and confront him. Ask him why he’s following me? Why doesn’t he get on the damn train?

I’m keeping a count of how many times I’ve seen him in my notebook to pass the time.

I wonder how long I can live on a train.
