Window Seat

by Rafael Lim

The 11:42 is the most honest train in the city, and Rafael Lim has the window seat. A cake that missed its party, nurses comparing blisters like carpenters, an apology rehearsed until it breaks — linked stories that ride the last train home and find the whole city in one carriage. Wry, exact, and quietly devastating at closing time.
