@qoutes1539: The Last Ticket Every Tuesday at 4:00 PM, an elderly man named Arthur sat on the bench at Platform 4, holding two tickets for the coastal train. He never boarded. He would simply watch the train arrive, let the passengers hustle past him, and wait until the conductor blew the final whistle. As the train rolled away, Arthur would look at the empty space beside him on the bench, gently fold the second ticket, place it in his breast pocket, and walk home alone. The station staff knew him well. For five years, they watched this quiet ritual. New employees were told not to disturb him. "That's just Arthur," the station manager would whisper. "He's waiting for Sarah." Sarah was his wife. They had planned to take that exact train to the coast for their fiftieth anniversary. But the morning they were meant to leave, Sarah’s heart gave out. She passed away in her sleep, dressed in her favorite travel coat. One rainy Tuesday in November, Arthur didn't show up. The clock struck 4:00 PM. The train arrived, poured out its passengers, and departed. The bench remained empty. The next day, Arthur's grandson came to the station. He walked up to the ticket counter, his eyes red and heavy. He handed the station manager a small, weathered leather box. "My grandfather passed away on Sunday," the young man said softly. "We found this under his bed. He left a note asking me to bring it here." The manager opened the box. Inside were hundreds of unused train tickets, all dated for subsequent Tuesdays over the last five years, neatly stacked. On the very top lay a final ticket, purchased in advance for that day. Written on the back of it, in Arthur's shaky handwriting, were just four words: “I’m on my way.”#fyp #selfgrowth #viral
