Lively Locations Assignment Frost had crept into the gaps of the hard, cobbled stone floor. I waited for the train to come around the dark trees in the distance. A few people were standing idly on the edge of the platform and violet and magenta clouds lit the dim sky. Now and then eyes rolled and looked in the direction the train would to come. The sound of footsteps echoed down the stairways and a young man strolled past me, his suitcase swinging like the pendulum of a clock. He stopped and leaned against the cold brick wall. The sound of stroller wheels raced down the platform, breaking the silence. The young man checked his watch constantly. Small chatter faded in, and disappeared with the sound of the stroller. On the steps, an old man, covered in a jacket that was ripped, stained and seemingly grabbed out of trash can, rested and puffed out one last smoke cloud before he let his cigarette drop to the floor. A women, probably only in her early twenties, had no luggage with her at all. Her dark brown hair was tied up in a messy bun, and her trench coat hung open loosely. A pair of skinny jeans wrapped her legs and a pair of brown humungous winter shoes warmed her feet. She wasn’t cold; her eyes were fixed on her phone screen, probably waiting for someone. The screen flickered and suddenly everybody shifted to the edge of the platform. The robust doors parted. A grandma slowly slid out of the train, blocking the way of a mother trying to push out her stroller in a hurry. After she did a mass of people pushed themselves and their suitcases out of the small train doors. People slid by one another, and violently pulled their suitcases with them. The young man tucked in his shirt, straightened his collar and tie before he slowly, with no sense of urgency, drifted towards the train. The hydraulic doors hissed shut, and the sound of a starting engine filled the hall.
