Two young women sitting together on a train. One is black, the other is white (and wearing a white jacket).

The train quietens and I hear the unmistakable tinkle of music emanating from someone’s earphones. I look up and realise that those woman opposite me are sharing a pair of earbuds (just like I remember doing with friends when I was an impoverished kid with a cassette walkman).

I listen for a few more seconds and recognise the song. As Beyoncé’s soprano soars during the last chorus I realise that it’s Emotion by Destiny’s Child, one of my favourite songs. And I smile to myself.

Destiny’s Child: Emotion

–

And on another train, at a different station a group of schoolgirls in uniform jump onto my train. One yells, “my shoe!” Her friends surround her, giggling as she shows them how her shoe dropped off her foot and into the gap between the train and the platform. The train doors close.
“Don’t worry, it’s only a shoe,” a friend comforts her as the one-shoe’d girl shuffles through the carriage.

Perhaps this person found Cinderella’s lost shoe..?
