Episode 21: The Family Guy
Jack climbed the stairs of the 5:40 commuter, scanning the rows for an available seat. To his surprise, he discovered an open row. Even better. He liked a window seat.
Jack usually took the 6:18 commuter: A much busier train. Finding an open seat was always a challenge on the 6:18. The ladies with their corpulent bags were fascists when it came to accommodating a boarding rider. Men fiddling with laptops were junkyard dogs guarding their precious elbow room.
