Fiction

quick drawing of woman in blouse and skirtWeekend goodbye

Mark was on a train heading home after seeing his friend Sabrina over a weekend. A pleasant visit.

The last moments at the train station kept lingering in his mind.

Carensa was 6. But determined. She was going to Europe. The land with castles at every river’s bend. And princes and princesses. A magical place.
