First draft
The Last Train from Ballyglass
When a stalled commuter line leaves two strangers stranded in a small west of Ireland station, they start talking to pass the time and find they have both been quietly rearranging their lives for years. What begins as an inconvenient delay turns into a slow, uneasy connection built on small confessions, missed chances and the kind of ordinary details that make a place feel lived in.
