It's harder to come up with a short piece that wraps up than a longer piece that drags on.You did an excellent job

Excellent work! I'm always a little jealous of writers who can use such short space effectively.

Thank you. I love the challenge of drabbles.

I too find train whistles at night to be chilling. Loved the description here!

We have a line close to our house and those late night whistles always give me a wee chill. They feel lonely somehow.

They're all good, but the first is my favorite!

Excellent. I think I'd find it hard to write a clearly defined story in so few words, but you nailed it on all of them there.

Superb stuff, each bringing a different type of chill.

We live near tracks and hearing that whistle at 3 AM legit freaks me out.
