"For a Train"


January 20, 2006
by Olen Steinhauer



Things move quick in cyberspace, at least faster than I can make it out of the country. I sent a piece over to Tribe for Flashing in the Gutters, and before I could call the Hungarian train company to find out their schedule, the piece was up.



I wrote “For a Train” years ago, and it originally saw publication in Paragraph Magazine back in the day. Not crime, not espionage, but death—the death of Leo Tolstoy to be specific. Check it out.
