Weekend Story-The Missed Train

He was late by two minutes. The 8.30 am train left on time, and he stood on the platform replaying every small mistake, kicking himself for the delay. When the next train arrived, it was crowded and late. He travelled standing, annoyed, convinced the day had gone wrong. That evening, news spread that the earlier train had broken down midway, and passengers were stranded for hours. He paused, checked the time, and closed the app. The platform was quiet now. Nothing had been saved. Nothing had been lost. The day moved on, exactly as it had decided to.
