I’m running for the train, along the riverside. The river Wear brings happy memories but I don’t have time for them now. I am on my way to see my boyfriend, in his new home where I will live with him. It’ll be perfect, an idyllic life free from my torturous troubles. I run across the busy main road, not stopping or looking. I can’t miss it, I tell myself. I need to depart now! I run through the railway museum and hurdle the barrier onto the old platform. Here comes the train, I take a deep breath. And jump.
