The Train to Independence

The people were standing on the platform at the train station in Captiville.  A man was walking by and saw all of the people standing there.  Curious, he walked up to a man carrying two suitcases.  “What is everyone waiting for?”

“Oh, the Train to Independence will be here soon. We will be leaving this crumby town.”  The man smiled.

“Why leave?  They give us goodies here.”  The man inquired.

“You also can’t go anywhere or do anything here.  You are stuck in your room all day and all night.  In Independence, they have much to do, and you can go anywhere you want.”  The man with the suitcases smiled.

The man was furious and walked away.

The train arrived, and the people boarded.  The train pulled away.

Along the way, the train stopped in Bondageburg to pick up a small family, and it man another stop in Abusetown to pick up a young woman on crutches with a molten cast of her foot and scars on her face.

Days later, the train arrived in Independence.  Everyone deboarded the train and was very excited to see the city.

Wishing Everyone a Happy Independence Day.
