the story of a little egg

illustration by hannah konola

i'm sitting on the platform next to all the other thomas trains.
engines steaming, whistles blowing.
waiting, waiting, waiting...
twiddling my thumbs, knitting a scarf, reading a book, whittling away at time.

just waiting for the conductor to wave the flag...

till i finally realize the conductor is me.

oops.


GO you little dimwit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
