Nora Sullivan looked out the window of the small building the city government shared with the general store. Ten years! It had been an entire decade since she first arrived in Adobe Springs, and twelve overall since she had left New York. How things had changed! The city had blossomed in recent years, its status as a trading center bringing an influx of money and people. Its overall population continued to trail nearby Fiero, but another decade would likely change that. Yet despite all this progress, the...

Adobe Springs

By Amryai200,

Fiero would recover from the fire, but Nora wouldn't be there to see it. She had decided to leave. To get away from the memories of her best friend, who she'd never see again. She'd seen the flyers advertising the new town, Adobe Springs, and after the completion of a new road connecting Adobe Springs to settlements in the north it had become a trading center, and the town was booming.

Arrival

By Amryai200,

Nora Sullivan looked out her train window. Sand and rocks stretched to infinity. She couldn't hear the outside over the thundering roar of the steam engine, but imagined it was oppressively silent. Some might find the sparse, noiseless desert depressing. She thought it was beautiful. The roar of the locomotive was suddenly accompanied by the grinding screech of brakes. The shout of "Fiero Station!" somehow carried itself over the noise. Time to get off. Nora grabbed her suitcase - her only possession - and...
