I have published another one of my stories from a few years ago! It’s a very short science fiction story about a girl that is overtaken by her curiosity after seeing an old man sitting on a bus with a vintage radio in his lap. As if in a trance, she starts to follow him and stumbles upon even more strangeness with where he leads. No spoilers!
This one was inspired by my commuting “adventures” while working in New York City and living in Connecticut for a while. My train went into Grand Central Station via the Metro-North Rail. If you’ve ever been there, you probably know how inspiring the architecture and atmosphere can be for just about anyone, never mind a writer or creator type mind.
Over time, I realized that I could never assume a thing about anyone I was walking aside on my way anywhere or sitting next to on the train. I also had coworkers showing me the countless ways into and out of the station whether underground or through buildings and so forth. I met so many people from every walk of life I could imagine (if they were talkative, of course!), but alas, the experience became a bit over stimulative after about six months or so of crowd fighting. I started putting in headphones for my entire walking and riding journey, and little stories would play out in my head based on my observations. This story was one of them…
Radio Waves is a very quick read, but I think a fun one. I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for reading!
