The Wallet by Jeanette Winterson

razorxrosary  asked about this and I thought it might be something others would enjoy too. 

My travel wallet has a short story on it by Jeanette Winterson, commissioned for the 60-year celebration of the British Art Council. The travel wallets were handed out for free last year at the stations across the UK. 

I can’t find an online version of the story anywhere, but seeming as it was, as said, handed out for free, I don’t think it breaks any copyright for me to retype it here for others to enjoy. The story catches a lot about what I love about railway stations (and bus stations and airports and harbours and…); that feeling of possibility, chance and change and daring. Every arrival and every departure is a choice that can be made or unmade every single time.
