Stories from a train

Posted by Claudia Moser on 8:07 AM
Each morning and each evening I go by train from Oberursel Stierstadt to Bad Homburg, most of the days at the same time. With the 7.29 train in the morning and with the 17.54 train in the evening. The way home is rather a path to deconnect, to leave work behind and enjoy the evening. But the morning one ... That is another story and that is what I'd like to record.

Having the same train each day allows me to watch almost the same people behave, react and sometimes interact. There are a lot of stories: the young guy deeply madly in love, the junior working in the City, the young 'rabbit', the older lady working in the train, the young high schoolboy ...

But for me the most fascinating one is the elevator battle story :)

Motto

"A story is not like a road to follow … it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows. And you, the visitor, the reader, are altered as well by being in this enclosed space, whether it is ample and easy or full of crooked turns, or sparsely or opulently furnished. You can go back again and again, and the house, the story, always contains more than you saw the last time. It also has a sturdy sense of itself of being built out of its own necessity, not just to shelter or beguile you."
