It’s been a few months since I updated this blog, but that’s about to change. I’ve been writing a ton recently and this is the first of a series of stories that are coming out in the next few weeks in a variety of places.
As of this morning, “Adventures on the Omega Train at Night” is now live over at Sunday Morning Transport. You’ll need to sign up to read it, but this is a link for a free 60-day access to the magazine. https://www.sundaymorningtransport.com/smt2024
This was a fun story to write – the seed of the idea came to me when my friend and I were trying to get home after an event in Manhattan and the train went express midway through the trip. And I said “Well that’s we get for taking the train after 10pm, you can never guess where you’ll end up.”
I’m trying not to write too many stories inspired by NYC, but this one wouldn’t leave me alone. So many of the little details are pulled from real life and places as well as the awful comments from strangers. (Which, fortunately, didn’t happened all in one night.)
My soundtrack for this story was “Things Behind Things Behind Things” by Bon Iver.
Enjoy!
P.S. My story recommendation this time is Butterfly Pavilion by G. Willow WIlson
