Happy Halloween everyone!
Writing has been slow due to college, but I hope to have something out by year's end. In the meantime, have this pumpkin in these trying times.
Stay safe and have a good one!

Sodorgust Day 14 - Nature
“Look there, Timothy! Look! Deer! We don’t see many of those down here! I wonder what they’re doing here?"
“Yes, Marion. That’s nice,” panted the little oil-burner, more concerned with keeping the bumbling steam shovel moving up the steep incline.

“Wait until Edward here’s about this one,” chortled Henry, feeling the train between the two diesels and their trains.

Sodorgust Day 12 - Coal
James grumbled endlessly as he found the trucks. He couldn't understand what was so "special" about this coal, or why only Henry could have it.
"I'm bringing him this filthy lot. Surely I deserve a taste."
The trucks groaned. It was going to be a long trip.

Sodorgust Day 11 - Vanity
James wasn’t the most self-aware engine, especially when it came to others confusing his pride for vanity.
But after speaking to the new diesel at the junction only once, he figured an apology to the other engines was in order.

“What a small shed!” grumbled Sir Handle. “This won’t do at all!”
“I think it’s nice,” said Peter Sam.
“Huh! What’s that rubbish?”

Sodorgust Day 9 - Adventure
And so, with ramshackle sideplates cobbled together, Bill and Ben were put to work at the quarry with Mavis. They loved travelling through town and seeing new faces. They missed their home, but this new adventure, they decided, might be worthwhile after all.

Feeling warmed with emotions after Holly and I finally got married, and to have celebrated it with so many people we love. 🤍
Thank you all for your well wishes, and ESPECIALLY to everyone who helped us on the day...

Sodorgust Day 8 - Nervous
Molly was already nervous about making a good first impression on the other engines. But after a rude remark from Emily about her pulling the “empties”, she had all but confirmed her woes.

Sodorgust Day 7 - Post
At night, when the other engines are tucked in their sheds, you can still hear the faraway call of an engine’s whistle and the clickety-clack of train wheels turning.
This is the sound of the post train.

Sodorgust Day 6 - Return
Dudley was soon coupled to a long line of wagons. Bear and Donald watched as he stormed away with much hooshing and huffing. Into the setting sun, he puffed and disappeared on the horizon.

Sodorgust Day 5 - Overworked
Percy and Toby were rushed off their wheels. The newly-renovated harbour meant that more ships were coming in, and more stone was being sent out. The two had to work long into the evening and barely had a chance to rest.

Sodorgust Day 4 - Rescue
The wind howled and the rain pelted down. But no matter the stakes, Barry struggled on through the storm, finding his courage with each turn of his wheels.
“Trains must get through,” he panted, “come rain or shine!”

Sodorgust Day 2 - Freight
Murdoch was enjoying his new life on Sodor. The people were friendlier, and the trains were shorter. Most importantly, it was much quieter than the mainland.
