Today I am AliceA Story by Alicewaiting
As Alice stood on the train platform the rain continued to pour off the roof top dripping on to her overcoat, she pulled up the lapel closer to her neck and slowly reached around with her hand to pull the hood up,the wind had slowly picked up and there was a constant steady blowing now but the rain mixed with it made her even more anxious,she had positioned herself in the corner of a wall so that the rain and wind wouldnt be so bad but the real reason that she chose that spot was it was in the shadows,wearing a gray overcoat with the hood pulled up made her almost invisible all but a few strands of her blonde hair that fell on the outside if her overcoat,.she anxiously looked up at a big clock that seemed to have stopped, why was the train taking so long she thought to herself as she peered down the long platform and on to the tracks that lead to a tunnel that was pitch dark,surely she would be able to see the lights of the train coming she thought but if the rain got any harder her vision would be obscured ,anxiety had her shifting her weight from one foot to the other as she waited impatiently.Glancing at the clock again she saw that the hands had not moved ,and at that moment a big gust of wind blew off her hood ,quickly she reached up to grab it and as she did her long locks of blonde hair tumbled down and fell against her wet overcoat,grabbing her hair with one hand and reached for the hood again with her other she tucked her hair away and pulled the hood down,great she thought the train was surely late and now she her hair was wet ,perfect she said out loud in a scarstic manner,this was maddening she thought, all this time ,the time she had waited for all of her life and now she looked like a drowned rat and maybe if the train came at all what she was waiting for wouldnt be there,her eyes began to well up and a small little tear formed and ran down her cheek,though if anyone had been out side next to her they wouldnt been able to notice that small single little tear running down her cheek thinking only it was on the rain.Stop thinking that way she told herself, it would happen the way she planned,as she wiped her face with her hand at that moment she saw the tunnel light up and thru the rain she saw the train coming slowly along the tracks towards her.She sucked the air as if she couldnt breath and her heart beating fast against her chest as the train slowed down and stopped.Slowly people got off and quickly hurried toward the stairs that went downward like a rabbit hole,she was looking thru the people her neck craining from side to side ,looking,searching,.her eyes widened and she stepped out from the protective corner into the rain and wind ,there he stood ,looking for her , both of there eyes locked and meet,Alice was running now dodging the crowd and he was making his way toward her ,almost tripping over a suitcase,she was laughing and tears of joy poured from her eyes and down her cheeks ,he had a smile that was bigger than the cheshire cats on his face,as they reached each other she jumped into his arms and he folded her into his body, embracing each other tightly he was kissing her face and she was laughing, the rain continued to pour.
