It was pushed off track. We (the marshals at Vale) pushed it.

Sam sat on the one free bench, which was wet. The wind whipped down the platform taking with it the cheerful tannoy voice apologising for the inconvenience.
Sam shrugged. He had plenty of time. And if the interview went well perhaps one day he could be that voice. He crossed his fingers. #WriteCBC

Vi smelt cabbage first. Cabbage, then weed. An odd combo. Three plaster ducks flew across the wall whilst a pair of boxfresh Nikes stood below. Maybe spring greens and duck decs were hip now. By the shoes were a pile of textbooks she recognised. Ah, an OU student: contrarian to the last. #WriteCBC

But it was too late. At once, the back and the front doors both blew open and a swirling white wind whistled through, upsetting ornaments and freezing Ella’s nose. When it had gone she saw something left behind on the rug. She bent down towards it.
β€˜Don’t touch him' her mum cried. #5ActFestiveStory
