Talk:Train Stops in the Middle of Nowhere/@comment-25949140-20150213153046

That was a fun read. One thing I'm confused about is the actual reference to the assigned subject matter: 'train stops in the middle of nowhere'. It seems like this story could have been written completely independent of its subject matter, save for the brief blurb about the town being 'slightly different than other towns you'd see from the train'.

Put another way, it seems like this story could have been written well in advance of the competition, only needing to tack on a cursory nod to a train on the front before submitting.

I'm hardly in any position to offer critiques, being neither an English major nor a veteran of the site, but I would have liked to see the assigned topic more robustly integrated into the final product.
