Something I wrote earlier but forgot to post:
An old man is going to work. He enters the station, slides his card, and then walks to the train platform and waits.
The train is coming, says the loudspeaker, please be patient.
Other people gradually make their way to the platform. The old man opens up his conservative bag and pulls out a bagel. He was going to eat it later, but he wasn't planning on waiting this long. While eating the bagel, the old man opens up a newspaper. It's one of those newspapers with orange paper instead of off-white.
There are kids on the platform, perhaps they're going to school. They talk amongst themselves, pretending to have more energy than they really do.
The old man finishes his bagel and throws away the napkin it was wrapped in.
After a few more minutes, the train finally comes. Everyone is relieved. They get on separate cars, hoping to never see the people they waited with again.
