A opportunity
Richard and Frank sat next to each other on a busy commuter train.
They were silent, headphones on.
If they did speak, they would find they had many things in common.
They both grew up in Salford and moved to London in their 20s.
They both liked the same Northern Soul Bands.
They both enjoyed cooking Thai dishes at home.
They both had been divorced and struggled to re-marry.
Richard even knew Frank’s brother, who was year above him in college.
But none of this was revealed.
They did not say a word.
Frank packed his rucksack and left the train at Tooting.
WELCOME TO STINGO
Stingo is a home for the output of various creatives in and around Leamington Spa. Music from blues to EDM to modulism; visual arts and crafts from oil paintings to bags, writing from reviews to poetry.
