Inspiration point (IP)
Huge apologies for the lateness of this week's IP! Having spent a lot of time travelling today, I am hoping this one might be the ticket : to write a story or poem set in a station, or other place of arrivals and departures - could be working, waiting, coming, going, anticipating, fretting, do you know where you are going, or perhaps this destination is a complete suprise... Where will your imagination take you?
I am always gobsmacked by the variety of wonderful IP responses, I do hope this helps get you started!
Wishing everyone a great weekend

I once experienced this peculiar feeling whilst on watch on a bulk carrier sailing south through the Red Sea towards the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the Indian Ocean beyond.
