MICRO-FICTION MONDAY
"COMING OR GOING?"She held all she owned in 3 small bags as she looked at the train.
Was she going or coming?
She'd forgotten, didn't know.
She needed help.

A bag lady or soon-to-be bag lady, I fear.
running away aint going to help much either...
Awe, poor thing. How freightened she must be.
Good take on the picture, she does look confused even from behind!
Oh, darn! I do know that feeling!! Super one for the day! Hope you have a great week!

Oh, now that's really scary. My parents both had Alzheimer's before they died, and every time I forget something (several times a day, or several times an hour, I forget which) I think "uh-oh"!
Am also thinking I could get to enjoy Microfiction.

She sure does need help! I'm rooting for her.
Have a great week, OPG.
Great Job PG!!!
Loved it....G
Hope she figures it out little by little!
I do hope she finds herself and hasn't lost her spirit.
Oh, P.G! I'm laughing XD!
The reason is not that the poor lady is funny but that in my first story I had the train leaving (going) but really it is coming. So I wrote the one you read. ;)
There are a lot of people in the world like your lady. I am on my way. I do hope someone will take care of my stuff so that I don't have to have only what I can carry with me. :)
I am probably about 50% dyslectic but have never been diagnosed as such.
..
Also reminds me of Alzheimers where there is such uncertainty
Great take on that prompt
Moon smiles for your week
I wonder if she has lost her memory. I hope someone helps her.
The way my memory is going, I'll be like her in 20 years! :(
Poignant. Well done.
She needs help alright, poor thing - hope she finds it... Nice MM!
Aaw...captures it well, well done!
So sad. I hope someone comes to her rescue. A great take on the picture.
Have a wonderful week x
This poor soul seems homeless! Sadly, this is the case of too many in our civilised world! Powerful little micro!
Oh no, poor, confused thing! :O(
Sounds as if the Poor Dear shouldn't be out on her own, I wonder if they know she is missing.
Poor thing wondered away! Many years ago I found a man, who appeared confused, outside of a discount store. He begged me to help me find his way home. This was in the days before cell phones. My heart broke because I recognized he had dementia. So I put him in the car and drove up and down the nearby neighborhoods. As I was about to give up and call the police, we found his daughter. I hope this poor demented soul finds her way home as well.
Sad. Hopefully, there is someone looking out for her.
Incidently, mahjung, bridge and card games are said to help.
My grandmother who gave me stories is in critical condition. I don't think I will be able to write for awhile.
Awww! I feel like that a lot lately! lol! :) Good MM - lots to work out in this one!

OH such a vivid scene...
Very sad, to be so confused and alone. Unfortunately, not an unlikely scenario. Good job.
I like it...it says so much in so few words.
In that case, she'll be happy as long as she finds out where she is. :)
What a scary thought for her as she boards.
sadly there are many people who this is true for.. I liked it..

I like the story. It reminds me of train rides and bus rides...including the bus driver who was annoyed at me when the bus started rolling and I pointed out that my checked bag was sitting on the curb. He doubted that I saw the right bag...but mine was the only one with plaid sides and a black-and-yellow striped top! He stopped and loaded my bag.
aww. better not to travel alone at this stage. good MM.
well done...makes me want to know more!
I hope it's not the onset of something horrible for her. :(
How horrible to be that disoriented, that confused.
Traveling can make you that tired! I can't tell you how many times I feared sleeping because I might miss my stop. Good take.
(Sorry I am late, life complications!)
Poor lady. I'd help her!
