Fast Times on America’s Slowest Train

In our latest feature—a buddy comedy on the rails—Harrison Scott Key delights in a slow, boozy train ride, along with a friend.

I wanted to write stories. Mark wanted to live them. I’ve never stopped seeking achievement and he’s never stopped seeking places to go, the Peter Pan to my Wendy. He even married a flight attendant, mostly for love, but also for the free plane tickets that allow him to join me for book festivals, readings, talks, and conferences across the nation. If I’ve got a king mattress booked, paid for by someone else, Mark’s there. He flies standby and always shows.

I pray you never stop Caturdays good sir, its one of my most defining experiences on 2023 tumblr. Came for the swords, stayed for the cats!

Thanks for the compliment! :-D

I've got no intention of stopping Caturday; last time I counted with any care, about 70% of my queued posts were of cats or in some way cat-related.

The rest are swords, armour and interesting old weapons, fountain-pens and writing, food, drink and making or consuming same, train travel, classic cars and the many other things that interest me.

There are also crossovers, sometimes fanciful...

...sometimes realistic.

This ad reads "I no longer write like a cat..."

Since abandoning regular ballpoints in favour of gels and fountain pens, I no longer write like an inky-footed spider on a trampoline in an earthquake. I have been assured that this Is A Good Thing.

If bribed with treats, this cat will not knock your pen to the floor.

Probably.

The thing about cats in kitchens is that no matter how disinterested they appear to be...

...they're almost always Planning Something.

Here's one way a cat can be on a train.

Here's another.

Indoor travel is better.

And if a train's not available, try a car. A classic car, for preference...

That car is a Rover 12-P2 from the late 1940s; this one is a Ford Consul Mk 1 from the mid 1950s.

In profile, it looked like a jelly-mould...

Or a Jello mould.

Whatever...
