THE BOY ON THE TRAIN 8

THE BOY ON THE TRAIN 8

The year is 2018 it is summer and Billy is now 81 and has come back to Boston
For the frist in 70 years as he walks through his old neighborhood he remembers
His life there with his mom and dad he finds the place he lived in and the school
where he went to as he walks around his old neighborhood he see some old guys
Playing checkers Billy stops and say Hi I I lived in this neighborhood 70 years go
My names Billy thay looked him said we remember you and what happen to your mom
and dad and you thay all talked long time and Billy left and walked to the church
Where his mom funeral was went in looked when a nun ask him if she could help
Bill told her about mom what happen to her and him the nun walked over to the
Plaque on the wall and as Billy read it had tears in eyes for what said about his mom
Then ask where her grave was the nun tooking outside and showed him thay cleared
away her grave and Billy cryed and noticed there was plot open next his mom
Bill truned to the nun ask can any one have it nun said yes can I have it the nun
says yes so who do I talk to the nun says the church funeral director wonder if he is here
so thay went to his office and he was in BIlly told the funeral director his story that he would like to be
buried next her so thay took out papers and Billy signed the paper and payed by credit card
Billy you are all set just one last thing what do you want to say on your grave lets see
Here lies Billy and his mom together agin that's nice so Bill took the paper work with him back
to his Hotel it had been a long day at the hotel he ate dinner and went back t his room put all
is papers out on the desk and went to bed fell sleep and never woke up Bill died in his sleep
when thay come in to the room some day late thay saw the paper work and the note what to do
so the church had little funeral and buried Billy next to his mom some time later thay put up plaque
next to his moms it said Billy and his mom togerther agin may thay both live in peace. THE END

Hello Greg...

I know there's Directors and Actors in Florida...

You'd have to research and contact them...

You'd have to be able to get there if they would like to discuss it with you in person...

You'd have to see if they're a good fit for you too...

You would have to discuss who would act the parts as well...

Research and check their credentials before you agree to something...

The main thing is to remain positive and confident...

A lot of people said no to things that have ended up having awesome success somewhere else...

Don't give up if it's what you really want...

I hope that lady's well somewhere out there my friend...

Best wishes and blessings!

Hugs...

Greg a real mixed emotion of a story throughout.
Each part emotionally packed and charged and pulls a reader every which way and then some.
After reading part 1 I thought it really set the tone for a feel good venture and then you turn things around so dramatically from part 2 onwards, really turn a readers heartstrings inside and out.
And then still yearning for breath you display your most striking image projected, Maria's grave and then into Billy's thoughts on the matter and his love for her, his undying love for his mother and what happens next.
One could say that what both have been through a mother and her child have a reunion of sorts and in a way are both happily reunited in a more peaceful place.
Both together enjoying a perfect peace away from a world in which it never existed.
Thanks for sharing the journey Greg and yes beautifully and hauntingly sad, but with an ending that is so poignant and says what the human spirit can endure and a yearning of final yet tranquil closure .
