Storytellers: ‘Torn and Tattered Tracks’ by Dean Jevons

_by_Cruzw As I walk these torn and tattered tracks I imagine a time of days forgotten. I imagine towns folk walking to church on a cold winter’s day as the train passes them by. I imagine everyone waving to each other with a big smile. If they are strangers, they’ll soon be friends Off in the distance I saw a town store which is frequently visited by the locals.
