There's a seat on this train. Mid-way along the carriage it sits. Alone. The only unoccupied seat left, yet still alone. Why does no-one take this seat?
Might it be deformed, dismembered, disfigured in some way? A great long gash in it's side, innards flowing out. Deflated, dying, dust.
Might there be a foreign body perched atop it? A piece of trash, yesterday's news, a discarded piece of nothing. Devastating, isolating, intimidating.
Might it host an unmovable guest? A drink, a meal, or remnants thereof. Disgusting, disturbing, depraved.
Sit tight little seat. Have hope. Perchance next station, you'll be lonely not?
