words to make a difference
Once upon a time there was a garden in which stood an apple tree of the most imposing kind. Full of green, but still tiny fruits destined to become big, red, juicy apples in a few months.
Mark was on a train heading home after seeing his friend Sabrina over a weekend. A pleasant visit.

Michael was looking forward to being back in the metropolis where he once lived. Stepping off the train there, he’d meet Jody. It’d been ages. And the last time had gone spectacularly badly.
A harbor, cranes, warehouses, industries. Now Peter was back here, to repair a ship unloader.
Across the shipping channel was an island. And memories of a magical summer long ago.
