Balancing the Book: A Short Story

Would you help a stranger?

It's a normal day. A hot Summer's day. In a cold, airconditioned train. In an almost empty carriage.

Ms Jones is irritable and exhausted.

After a long day of hospital scans, she just wants a bit of peace and quiet.

But the journal she finds, leaves her uneasy.

Because what she does with it might make a big difference in the writer's life.
