Complete original story. Nia drew a tiny station and wanted her paper train to look ready for a grand arrival. She wrote WELCOME over the platform. In the story, the room lamp flickered. Tick, tack, tick came from a pretend clock. Nia imagined the paper train slipping away into the dark. Her cousin Sol said, “What if we draw a warm light above the platform?” The story stops before either child changes the drawing. Tiny verse: Paper train, a painted track. / Tick, tack, bring a traveller back. The clock sounds and travellers belong to the invented story; no real travel or moving paper train is reported.
