They had only just been able to make it to the train on time. The winds were already strong, the swirling snow felt like pricks of needles to the face. Nothing they weren't used to by now although it still made it hard to see. Luckily the ramp was wide enough to allow for some missteps. Vachir couldn't wait to get within the sheltered wagon and he only had the sad thought that although it meant getting a bit closer to the end of the trail, a bit closer to home, home probably looked just like this as well. In a moment of concern he also couldn't help but look out for Haku who was probably about to go into hypothermia.
    Meanwhile Riley was glad they had made it to the train in once piece. He didn't fancy going looking for people in the middle of a blizzard. Now that would have been embarrassing. (And he was totally acting tough like he wasn't afraid like mad for his childrenyep.) Although Ona refused to let anybody near her after discovering she had a fever, Riley had to wait until she had passed out to wrap her in his cosy cloak like a good dad. Of course it would be his daughter to refuse any treatment he was offering - that stubbornness had to come from somewhere.
    At least on the train there was time to rest. Although where there is time to rest there is usually also time for mischief... Despite the cold Ona and Romeo were definitely up to no good. One more big coup, if you want.

I know I should point out the gloomy atmosphere and awesome composition but all I can think about is the floof Floof on Riley's cape, floof on Tephra and the most amazing floof on Vachir's clothes QQ Gives it such a windy (pun intended) feel with the snow being all over the place too. It looks like a really uncomfortable stage of the trail for them and I'm happy they reached the train in time <3

This image and story makes me want to know more about Ona and Romeo! I am developing a writing app called Daily Prompt that utilises written and visual prompts to inspire stories and poems and as you have shown Train Time fits really well for stories. Would you be interested in having Train Time feature as prompt in the app? We only ask for permission to feature the image in the app and on IG.

If you want to know more about the app i'd be happy to provide more details.

Thanks, Danny

I'm not very comfortable with having my own characters featured in/used as prompt for other people's stories, sorry! but good luck with the app!
