Suppose you find yourself alone in a railway station at night. Write a paragraph in about eighty words describing your experience.
Alone In A Railway Station
Once I was waiting
alone for my return at an empty railway platform/ station on a dark winter
night. A few lamps were glowing here and there. Suddenly, the lamp, I was
standing beneath, extinguished. A sense of fear gripped me. I heard a heavy
sound of footsteps coming down from the railway over-bridge. Then I saw a dark
figure wrapped in a blanket. I felt a strange awe. At that time I remembered
the story ‘Midnight Express.’ It made me even more fearful. Luckily I heard the
horn/whistle of the incoming train and saw its bright light. I heaved a sigh of
relief.
