Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for September 20, 2018

Been there.

Yes, yes, of course you did.

One in a series of: Stories that Speak to Us as We are Now.

It’s all downhill from here.

Poor Thomas didn’t age gracefully.

I know there was a reason I came down these tracks, but now I can’t remember why . . .

And the poor old engine has a hard time staying on track!

Someone went through there. They left their tracks.

There is a medal on his chest, so he must have and heroically.

Trying to remember if he went to the bathroom before he leaves.

“Did I leave the coalbox lit?”

You forgot Middle-Aged Little Engine – “I Think I Can, But Not As Often”.
