    Summary

    I’m no one, y’see. Not really anyone worth a lick of anythin’. It was luck more than anything, me surviving that first trip with my head on straight. Luck that I met folks kind enough to help me do what needed doing.

    Summary

    When Eugene steps off of the sleeper train and into William H. Gray Station, he doesn't think he's ever seen a place less like Bayou Chene.

    ----

    Or, Eugene loves Babe. Babe loves Philadelphia. Eugene tries his hardest to love it, too, but it doesn’t take long for old ghosts to come drifting back in.

    (Part of a series but can be read as a standalone.)
