The Station #12

by

When Officer Sanchez was finished at the window he made his way to the men's room. The old lady got her ticket and slowly came to the benches, sitting down opposite Andrew.

Andrew nodded and said, "Mi nombre es Andrew y esta es Elizabeth."

The old lady nodded and smiled, showing her black and broken teeth.

"Mi nombre es Rosanna," she said, still smiling.

"A dónde vas?" Andrew asked, wishing to know her destination.

"Cielo," she said...

    Not to me. It makes me think of 10050 Cielo Drive.

    Btw, and unrelated to this story, last week it was ‘half term’ (school holiday for a week, private schools often for two weeks). If Drew has kids of school age then maybe he’s been on hol too... or just very busy!

    I hope that's all it is. His Drablr sabbaticals don't usually last this long.
