Journey To A New You
by Elizabeth Guilt
---
The train screams in, and she grips her ticket. Passengers crane to read the station sign. It says Discombobulate. Only one person stumbles off, giggling, and the platform-crowd surges aboard.
Doors hiss closed. Her stomach drops as they shoot into sunshine, gliding round bends, wheels springy over complicated junctions.
She reads the name of the next station, Unfurling , and wonders if she likes it. There is no map. People alight, others swirl into the carriage. The stations roll by: Brilliant. Lightning. Indolence . At each she wonders: is this mine?
The train halts at Inspiration. She knows. This is her stop.

Take care, everyone, and I'll see you tomorrow for episode 19.
