One-way train

I was on the Milky Way train to my dream after graduation at my home town, the Orient Star, a poverty and backward planet. Through various destinations, the passenger can stop at whatever termination they consider as the right place for them for living and working. Many young people like me entered the trip on this train after graduation on the journey of seeking different individual worth.

I tried to stop at some previous planets or stars, but they are actually not good as I thought after several years of living and working, then I take the train to the next station as always. “Are you consider your decision carefully sir?”, the ticket seller asked me, as always. “I am sure about it, I need to find out a better option,” I said, the same answer for the same questions repeated whenever I moved to the other new planet.

On my trip, I passed the Hope planet where my like-minded friend, Dream, has been working and living; this area was the right place for new immigrants to build an ideal life. However, I did not want to feel inferior to Dream or other friends; that why I just kept moving and moving, changed the different destinations to reach the most perfect one.

One day, when the Milky Way train stopped at the Future station, the final destination of the line, I cannot imagine how far I moved, but my long trip was worth it. The new place was perfect for me, for my career and my family as well. “I should bring them here to have a better life with me!” I thought. “Can I book another ticket to come back to my hometown, sir?” I said, “I want to bring my parent to this area.” “I am sorry, sir,” the ticket seller looking sad, “you do not have sufficient time.”
