Microfiction Monday #52 ~ where a picture paints 140 characters, or even fewer. Susan says:
Photos will be from my own archives; illustrations are from Dover Publications' free clipart sample newsletter.

She stood in an old memory.
Stylish, smiling, she alighted as a bride.
Now alone, with a few humble possessions, she awaited a new train.

That was good!
So much story in so few words. Poignant and sad. I loved it!
Very nice. Sent me into an imaginary time and space with this woman. Wonderful.
Is this your photo? You must have been in the USA as I see it is an Amtrak train.
Peace.
An entire story in such few words! Great job!
Very lovely! :O)
Very nice, I thought the same way this week.
Very nice,sent me to another time, maybe in the future.
Great take on the pic of the day, Gemma! It is poignant and one that many of us can relate to! Enjoy your week!

I love the line "She stood in an old memory." There is a beautiful cadence to these lines, also. Befits the subject.
Have a great week.
awh I hope she had a bright future ahead of her :O)
Let's hope this train is the one. Great story my friend. Have a wonderful Monday :)
I loved the feel of this MFM even if a little on the sad side. Still there was hope in it.
