A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Switchyard

in #story • 6 years ago

"Imagination has given us the steam engine, the telephone, the talking-machine, and the automobile, for these things had to be dreamed of before they became realities."
- L. Frank Baum -

My imagination turned to steam.

This week, @jayna's 50 word story weekly prompt, is "witch."

I had a hankering to switch things up again by incorporating multiple "witches," including an old-timey steam engine switchyard.

Bewitched

by Duncan Cary Palmer

Switchman Sam took the last open seat in the Pullman car.

Deadheading back to the switchyard, he couldn't believe his luck. The bewitching coed across from Sam was undressing him with her eyes.

Rising, the babe twitched her finger at Sam and winked. "Visit my cabin for a nightcap, Gorgeous?"

    Super cute story, @creatr. So that I can properly reference it in the next 50-words post, is the title "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Switchyard," or "Bewitched"? Thanks!

    Now that is a switch. Only on steemit. LOL That Duncan guy has a sparking youthfulness that is fun to read. I wonder how he would say it if she was into haiku? Thanks @creatr.
