She doesn’t like shuttle rides.

The tracks circle through the parks and along the miles of beautiful coastline. Glimpses of children playing, couples out walking, families on day trips. But she doesn’t like the shuttle rides, back and forth, back and forth. Sitting alone in the back on the comfortable seats, with no one else on board, and the light of the sunset painting all of the scenes a warm orange…

It makes her remember.

She can remember what, but the feeling is still there.

Loss, and a longing. Loss of- what? A person? And longing- to be a part of those content stories she sees outside her window. Endless sunsets, forever and ever, drifting across imaginary beaches and fairy tale parks.

Happy.

She doesn’t like shuttle rides.
Just a feeling.

Trying to figure out how I felt.

It makes you think. About the protagonist's lot in life. I like things that make me think :)
