The Way Back Home

When Mark saw him at home before dawn with sleepy eyes, he got up quickly, took his heavy bag down the narrow stairs, left a short kind note on the wooden table, went outside into the cold, turned away from the sharp wind, started the old car with a tired smile, began his long early trip, sent a brief warm message to his dear wife, tried hard to stay calm, kept the quiet radio on, moved slowly through the empty grey streets, stopped for hot sweet coffee, and then drove on toward the distant station.

He spent a full long hour waiting in the noisy busy hall near the old clock, moving his heavy bag from bench to cold floor, leaving his warm seat for a short minute, entering the small quiet shop, taking a fresh morning newspaper, returning to his lonely place, and suddenly hearing the loud evening train, so he immediately stood up, joining the tired crowd that pushed forward, stepped inside the warm bright carriage, approached the kind old conductor while coming closer with a polite smile, and finally sat back to rest after a short welcome break.

At noon the slow train came to a quiet little town where Mark hoped to start a simple new job, but he soon wished to leave again and return home at once, for the strange chilly office felt cold and forced, his light good mood was gone, every kind old friend had already returned to the big city, the cheap small hotel was full of late noise, long staying felt dull and wrong, so he quit the boring job, stayed just one short night, headed to the dark night station in a great rush, with his tired heart already heading home.
