There was a dramatic escape from N.Y. to a small Caribbean Island. Sunsets & cocktails have been extensively studied. Editing his own work was not a good idea.

@goodreads ‘Her eyes swelled as she looked down the track in the direction of the long-gone express train. Physical evidence of Foofoo’s demise did not exist. She turned away slowly, an empty street her only companion for the walk home.’

@LIRR ‘In the Oyster Bay Station parking lot, a man with the withered physique of Willie Nelson dismounted a huge Harley. He lit a cigarette, then tugged below the zipper on his blue jeans. After gently stomping each boot to realign his crotch, he sauntered towards me on bowed legs.

@goodreads North America’s busiest commuter railroad;
THE LONG ISLAND
Haulin’ ass since 1834... literally.

Hudson Yards NYC to Montauk Yard.

“Fast… Irreverent… Authentic.”

@goodreads ‘A loud crack of fiberglass was followed by a solid thud against cast iron. Then came the muffled but repeated sound of snapping bones beneath us. The horns drowned out most everything else. A final yell never came. Life was extinguished in a single heartbeat.

[Jeff Anderson @Singleskeg]

@goodreads ‘A little blonde-haired girl, possibly 3 years old, watched us from the warm side of a frost rimmed window. A large silk bow securing her hair matched a pastel blue dress. Behind her, a single string of tiny red lights blinked around an otherwise bare Christmas tree.’

[Jeff Anderson @Singleskeg]

@LIRR ‘Incidents of unintended contact between careless dashing commuters and screaming express trains happened. Factoring in the impatience of your average New Yorker, these occurrences seemed unavoidable tragedies.’

Not sure what answers to give?

Be prepared!
