Thanks a lot, @theinkwell team. It was challenging because I'm not familiar with real trains or railroads, and although there are a million ways to approach this motive, I had a hard time trying not to feel like an intruder. Besides, it was hard to engage in English writing again, so I'm still editing details. But I'm happy with the result, though, humbly happy. I didn't want to resolve the pregnancy dilemma because it was unnecessarily controversial, so I left the tension on that issue suspended. The moon should tell later.
Thank you so much for keeping this space, and yes, I have been reading the work of the other writers in the community and hopefully will be exchanging some ideas regarding our writing.
