The Tracks Of Petals and Steel

My story follows a woman's train ride to her mother's funeral, at which she has to do the eulogy. After her mothers passing she finds herself very emotionally vulnerable, her mental health is low and she is contemplative of life due to the loss of her mother. As the story progresses she becomes more grounded from the interactions she has with the people around her. This story serves as a reminder that we never really know what the people around us are going through, and that a small act of kindness can have an immense impact on someone's life.
